This quilt was made for The National Quilt Championships at Sandown Park 2007 and entered into the Art Quilt section where it won a first and a judge’s choice. The title of the piece relates to the hundreds of beads and sequins sewn on by hand with invisible thread, and reminded me of the ball gowns worn by the ladies on the television programme “Strictly Come Dancing.”
The quilt was made using the “Revelation Burning” technique and a batik panel as the starting point. It has a background comprising of thousands of shreds of organza, trapped under a larger piece of rainbow shaded organza which gives it the jewel like shaded look and it is free motion quilted to secure the scraps.
“Strictly Come Dancing Dragon” was made in 2007
