Flamenco Dancer

The Pacific International Quilt Festival is held annually in Santa Clara, California. This year's show included over 400 quilts. We're featuring some of our favorite works of art from the show.

Maria, 61 x 38.75", by Mary Anne Fontana (Delaware)

Entered in the quilt competition in the Innovative category, Mary Anne Fontana says: "This is an original photograph taken by me in Mercia, Spain in 2018.  Maria, a Flamenco dancer, was performing at an outdoor concert in front of this beautiful cathedral.  The printed image is a composite of two different edited photographs of her." 

Printed on 100% cotton fabric with cotton batting and backing, "Maria" was free-motion "thread painted" using thousands of yards of different color threads.  Fabric markers & watercolor paints were used to enhance her movement and beauty, and the finished piece was longarm machine quilted.
