Charlotte Hickman has recreated natural beauty again with her quilt, Thread-Painted Hollyhocks. These larger-than-life flowers just jump off of the quilt, coming forward from the multi-colored background that screams sunshine and spring. The thread painting highlights the flowers and gives them depth and dimension. We'd love to have these in our garden.

Thread-Painted Hollyhocks was on display at the International Quilt Festival in Houston 2018 as part of the Naturescape Quilts exhibit.

So Beautiful and a true "work of art". I will make time to watch 1805 to see just how you created this treasure.
