“Candy Machine” 2018 an original patchwork quilt top by Heather Kinion with quilting by Nicole Maroon
Geese Study #1 is the second of my almost whole cloth series, the first where I toyed with the idea of modernizing red work embroidery as dense quilting. I used three off white solids and three off white threads and nearly an entire big spool of aurifil 12 wt red thread.
This quilt was accepted to hang at QuiltCon in Pasadena in February 2018 for exhibit only as I am on the Board of Directors of the Modern Quilt Guild
