Golden Light 2

Golden Light 2 is the second of a pair of silk wall hangings with both an ecclesiastical and a Welsh cultural inspiration..
Working wholecloth, using both free machine and hand quilting, was a joy as the shapes appeared in the glowing yellow silk dupion.
Extra areas of wadding were added to enhance this effect in areas of focal interest.

  • 76cm x 53cm
  • Silk dupion fabric
  • Cotton backing and wadding
  • Cotton and metallic threads
