Helen Godden created an original hand-painted scene of Sydney's Festival of Lights, called VIVid. She used Lumiere acrylic fabric paint to capture the color and carnival atmosphere of the festival, which takes place around Sydney Harbour, Australia. It absolutely glows...

Helen's quilt, VIVid, was part of the Painted Surface exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.

Painted before or after piecing & applique?

Oh My Gosh! So beautiful and so much fun. You did an amazing job Helen and I wish I could see Sidney's Festival of Lights with my own eyes because of your terrific quilt. Keep up your great work.

Helen paints first with Lumiere paints, irons the work after the paint dries and then quilts.

Paint first then quilts. She runs on-line BOM classes which are great fun.
