Blackberry Summer, detail

Blackberry Summer by Theresa Fetch of Uvalde, Texas. The quilt was quilted on cotton sateen, bound, and then hand-dyed. The Shiva paintstik was then applied. Original design

 

Note from Susan Lenz: I generally don't like Shiva paintstiks used on quilts. I find the marks too obvious, not integrated into the design ... just "on the surface" for "sparkle". This, however, was a perfect application and use. Totally brilliant! I loved this piece.
