Based on a true blue iris, Andrea Brokenshire's Beauty is in the Blues was an exercise in manipulation compared to her other flower quilts. The challenge for this one was creating the folding of the petals within only the blue fabric and making the beards of the iris stand out. And what did she make the beards out of it? Santa hat trim! With this added feature, the extra dimension Andrea has given her quilt really brings new life to an already vibrant plant.

Feather Zone is a collaboration between Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero and Teri Lucas.

It is one of the new projects she created for her Painting on Silk Workshop for the Empty Spool Seminars. Andrea says about the quilt, "I really love how the pebbled texture of the background complements the smooth lines of the dahlia."
