Kelp Forest Quilt




Kelp Forest Quilt
The Kelp Forest Quilt is an original design inspired by seaweed on the California beach.
All the fabrics used in this piece are environmental fibers. The background is 55% hemp/45% organic cotton, with a 55% hemp/45% organic cotton applique in an indigo blue. The applique is cut in one piece, with hand stitching on each blade to add the texture of the kelp. All work is done by the artist, using techniques inspired by traditional Hawaiian methods. The applique is hand cut, hand sewn and hand quilted.
This quilt was show in the Tropical Inspirations Quilt show in Kona, Hawaii. It was selected to receive the blue ribbon, 1st Place in the Application division.
If you are interested in making a quilt inspired by any of my designs for your own personal use, feel free to contact me for more information on the design, fabrics, or techniques. Hand quilting is a traditional method of stitching that gives an amazing texture to your quilt. If there is anything I can share with you, I would be happy to assist you in making this magic! However, this is my quilt design, and you need my written permission to use my design for mass production or commercial sale.
