It features a stylized three-stem red tulip, or "Carolina Lilly" patterned arrangement sitting inside a geometric basket motif. The center floral patch is set on point within a off-white quilted square, framed by nested borders of patterned red and textured teal/blue fabrics. The detailing pairs with close parallel hand-quilting stitch lines across the borders. This piece of art could be used as a wall-hanging, trivet, or as an applique in apparel.

The story: this quilted piece was crafted by my late mother, a self taught artist. As a young girl back in the 70's I recall her "craft room", her place of creation, the floor littered with threads and the smell of turpentine and oil paints wafting from the room. Some of her other creations of fine art and holiday decor are listed within my shop. I hope you'll take a look!
