Quilting Makes My Heart Blossom by Margarita Korioth

This month’s puzzle spotlights a quilt titled Quilting Makes My Heart Blossom made by Margarita Korioth of Longwood, Florida for the 2012 Quilt Alliance contest and auction, Home Is Where the Quilt Is.

Materials and processes: Pieced, silkscreen, applique, paper lamination, metal leafing, machine and hand embroidery

Artist’s Statement

I want to demonstrate that cloth and recyclable materials can be used to create and interpret your thoughts. This is an enjoyable technique that I feel is just the beginning of a new and innovative way to do art. The title of my quilt is “Quilting Makes My Heart Blossom.” I gave it this title because I feel the happiest when I am at home quilting. Like the garden, my family blossoms when I nourish them with love.
