Inspired by photos my daughter Caitlin and I took on a trip through Ireland. My art quilt group chose a theme of floating and I worked up one 8″ by 12″ piece. I loved it so much I created this much larger 40″ by 33″ piece. The original piece has since sold. This larger piece is nine separate pieces of hand-dyed fabric, quilted and embellished with more dyes and beads. The background is a separate panel, also quilted. The nine water lily scenes float in front of this watery background.
