PORTFOLIO
Give Me A Hug
Outline in Monofilament Thread
This quilt was inspired by the painting "Pygmalion & Galatea", by the French artist Gerome. The sculptor prayed to the gods for a woman. When he was creating her, she came alive and gave him a kiss.
The background is stitched in small hearts in honor of their love.
The original painting is very passionate and that passion translated nicely to the quilt. It was fun to only use printed fabrics as it added a whimsical nature to the quilt as demonstrated with the green floral prints for the crates.
