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.
