Title of Work: Set Off to Explore

Artist Statement:

I don't know if everyone is the same, but every time I pack my bags, there are always new discoveries.

When I was preparing to create this work, I found a lot of unexpected fabrics, such as travel purchases, friends' exchanges, and those long-forgotten ones. I used the discovered fabrics that inspired me in the quilt. It feels like magic to keep myself focusing on the fabrics and explore the delightful process of creating. It's so much fun!

Materials: recycled curtain fabrics, printmaking wiping fabrics, satin, silk, recycled cotton prints, artist's dyed fabrics, commercial cotton prints, embroidery floss, knitting yarn, beads

Techniques: hand stitched, hand pieced, hand appliquéd, hand quilted

Size: H 42" x W 42"

Thanks to the love of God, I received a big gift in the last few days of 2022. My work, Colorful and Splendid, is included in the winter issue of Quilting Arts Magazine! It's been a lucky year for me. I hope to keep positive and full of creative inspiration next year. I wish everyone a safe and healthy 2023. Happy New Year!
