Every quilt artist approaches a new piece in a method that best suits them personally.  Some map out the entire design before ever cutting into fabric.  Others have an idea, but just dive in letting the quilt speak to them as they go along. No matter what the technique, being able to follow along during the entire process as a spectator is a rare treat.    

Watch the creation of this quilt whose idea began with a black and white photo of Alex Anderson at her grandmother's knee. 

In Part I we begin with a beautiful piece of batik fabric that Gail Thomas saw as the perfect canvas for painting this sweet domestic scene.  Using layer upon layer of Angel paint, Gail brings depth and life to the three individuals in the photograph.

Join us for Part 2 which will feature the stenciling of the entire quilt top.
