Monet in Pasadena, created by Melinda Bula, was winner of 1st Place: Art Naturescape at Road to California, 2013.

Size: 72" x 50"

Design basis: Hand dyed fabrics, fusible applique, thread painting

Artist statement: I used fusible applique and heavy thread play to create this quilt. I hand-dyed most of the fabrics in the piece to get just the right colors that Monet might have used. I love to visit gardens whenever I am on the road. I was teaching and lecturing in Southern California and my friend, Nick, took me to Huntington Gardens in Pasadena early one morning. The shadows on the water lilies' pond cast blue and turquoise reflections on the water.
