About this Product
This 11 x 14 framed art quilt captures a late snow on the mountains but also a field of spring flowers.
A variety of batiks and hand painted fabric was used to create the textures and patterns of the landscape. The use of layered fibers gives the quilt a depth, as if the viewer is peering into an actual landscape.
The entire scene is beautifully highlighted by a double mat of white over black and comes to you ready to hang. I have chosen frames that come with clear plexiglass instead of glass. I feel this protects your artwork in case of damage to the frame during shipping. Let me know if you prefer nothing between you and the art work and I will send it without the plexiglass.
Made with hand painted fabric and batiks, this original artwork is framed and ready to hang.

"Absolutely loved! Packaged really well, instructions clear and great communication with the seller. Would buy again!"
"When I saw this print, I just could not pass it up!! I had some questions about sizes and the owner of this shop was very helpful and responded very quickly. It was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I have glass to fit my kitchen table, I used this round table topper in between the glass and the wood. It adds the perfect touch!!!"
"Beautiful!! I love the color combinations of the batik fabrics! Thanks for sharing your talent with others."
"This is so nicely made. It is gorgeously composed and well-crafted with care and pride. Even the hanging hardware and label are perfectly done. Thank you! I am so happy with my beautiful purchase."
"This is much more gorgeous than the pictures because of the delightful color combinations and particularly the delicate touches of orange. It is a perfect addition to my collection."
How it’s Made
All of my art quilts are made with 100% cotton batiks. Why batiks? Every piece of batik fabric is a work of art in itself (See photo number #1). I love the freedom this gives me when creating. Batiks are created by first applying wax to portions of a piece of fabric. The fabric is then dyed and the wax removed. Most of the batiks I use are created on the island of Bali where they cure the dyed fabric in the tropical sunshine. Using these fabrics is like taking a tropical vacation without leaving home. :)
I start each project by deciding my basic color scheme. I start pulling out fabric; always more than I will need. Chances are also about 100% that the final quilt will contain at least a few fabrics that were not in the original group. The quilt takes on a life of its own as I progress and each selection can change the direction of the quilt. I audition each fabric, and as you can see from the pictures a single piece of fabric can dramatically change the look of the quilt depending on which section of it I use. The three strips in the first picture are from one piece of fabric.
Thread is also important to the final look of the quilt. I have a nice selection of variegated threads... OK, I admit I was kind of surprised how much I had when I got this new thread carousel and finally had all of it in one place.

The basics
I have found that creating an original art quilt takes time. Plan on 5 - 6 weeks; more for larger sizes. The amount of detail will also add to the time it takes. I will have a better idea once we have discussed what you are looking for and will provide you with a time estimate and approximate start date.
The largest size I can do as one panel/quilt is 40” square. Larger sizes will be broken up into multiple panels.
Once we have talked and determined the details of your art quilt I will send you a quote spelling out the details of your order. Upon acceptance of that quote I will create a custom listing for you for the initial deposit. This deposit is non-refundable should you cancel the order. Changes or additions to the original quilt design (as described in the quote and deposit listing) may result in additional charges to you and will be due as part of the final payment. The final amount will be due upon completion of the quilt and before it is shipped.
Please note: Quilts that contain subject matter that is so specific to you that they can't be sold to anyone else will require a 100% non-refundable deposit before work is started.
Returns and exchanges
I do not accept returns on sale items and custom orders.
For all other items please contact me within 2 days of delivery. The item must be shipped back to me via Priority mail, or something comparable to how it was shipped to you, within 5 days of delivery.
