At the recent Houton International Quilt Festival, The Power of Quilts exhibit featured the work of about 20 friends who have been working together for over 25 years. They reinterpreted quilts of the 19th and early 20th century, using traditional techniques. Here are two gorgeous quilts by Jocelyne Picot from France.

Intersia by Jocelyne Picot (Arvert, Nouvelle Aquitaine, France)
Using hand applique, embellishment, embroidery, piecing, and quilting, Jocelyne reproduced a quilt seen in the Folk Art Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia. This stunning appliqued quilt was entirely handmade, including wool embroidery. The bright primary hues really stand out on the black background.
Quilt de Guerre by Jocelyne Picot (Arvert, Nouvelle Aquitaine, France)
This wonderful folk art-style quilt with its primitive figures was inspired by an 1840-1852 quilt in the collection of Saint Fargans National History Museum in Wales. The design is from The Retrospective of Great Britain Victorienne, as well as several biblical scenes. Jocelyne Picot created her masterpiece with hand applique, embroidery, piecing and quilting.
