Artist's Statement:
Since seeing a Broderie Perse exhibit at the New England Quilt Museum, I've been inspired to use the technique myself. My inspiration quilt uses Broderie Perse in a medallion style quilt. "Spring's Beauty" uses a Broderie Perse mother bird and nest as the center of the medallion quilt. The bird, nest and flowers show the beauty of spring awakening from a cold New England winter.
Inspiration quilt:
Davis, Johanna. Broderie Perse Medallion Quilt Top. c. 1845-1853. From Kentucky Quilt Project.
