Mondschein Grüppe

22” x 44”

2005

 

I made this quilt as a door hanging for my son’s Kindergarten classroom. The title means moonlight group in German. The fabric collage technique was inspired by Susan Carlson’s book, “Freestyle Quilts,” and was a chance for me to experiment a bit before making “Abby.” The quilt is made of commercial cottons, glittery tulle and velvet. I also used metallic threads to add shine. The batting is 100% cotton. It is machine pieced, appliquéd and quilted.

 

Mondschein Gruppe has won First Place in the Accomplished Fibers category of the Department of the Army Arts and Crafts Competition.
