The theme, picked by Brenda, was "Illumination". I chose to work on the buddhist meaning of this word. The background fabric was shibori-dyed.I then drew a very simple shape of someone sitting and meditating, and made a stencil out of freezer paper. I used oil sticks to print this shape on my fabric.
I added hand embroidered stars to evoke light.

Beautiful quilt, Françoise, very intricate and well balanced, the whole piece gives a lovely sense of peace and harmony.
Very nicely done. I love your meditating motifs.
A very serene quilt. Love the colors and the border brings everything back to the central theme...harmony. Great job!
You did such a wonderful job translating the illumination theme into this blue serene quilt.
Beautiful quilt Francoise.
