Barbara Kavanagh - In Memoriam

On the Bloomfield coverlet, reference is made to loved ones that have passed. Using similar colours and some motifs found on the coverlet, this quilt commemorates my immediate predecessors - my parents and grandparents - whose lives and DNA helped form my own to my distinct advantage. Aspects of the original coverlet informed my choice of fabrics by colour and print, and caused me to include framed text and snippets of floral fabrics.

Materials and techniques:
Cottons, interfacing and organza.
Lino printing.
Stamping.
Cutwork with soldering iron.
Fused cotton embellishments.
Digital printing.
Hand applique.
Free motion quilting.
