International Quilt Festival, Houston, November 2001 / "Camera Study"

By Shirley Neary

"Inspiration for this quilt came from three sources: a lifelong interest in photography, a friend's camera collection, and the hand dyed neutrals from Country House Cottons. Each image is hand drawn and then reverse appliquéd by hand. It is lightly quilted to emphasize the bold graphic design. The negatives were printed on cotton to add interest and to draw the viewer in."
