Today I am bringing you another favorite quilt from the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK. This is “Taj Mahal at Sunset” by Pippa Wardman. The skill and artistry in this quilt are just stunning. Her use of color and value to indicate the 3-dimensional mass of one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world, combined with her beautiful machine quilting, made this a favorite at the quilt festival.
I have set it in a frame of peacocks, flowers and feathers. I visited the Taj Mahal at Sunrise several years ago, and in that quiet moment of golden light, I imagined the shimmering dome surrounded by flowering gardens and peacocks.
We also just notified our “Love Your Mother” artists that our exhibit has been accepted into the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK next year, which will be July 30 to Aug 2, 2020. We are all excited to share our quilts about Mother Earth with our friends in the UK and Europe.
