Artist's Statement:
Using Jamie Fingal's "20 Dresses" with its color palette of red and black as inspiration, I designed three pair of shoes that could compliment every dress. With a nod to Victoria Findlay Wolfe, I constructed my background fabric. Upon completion of the applique I realized that my shoes needed a little bling. Over 100 crystals later I knew the shoes were ready to hit the streets. I hope you enjoy my little quilt.
