Barbara Barrick McKie is an incredibly prolific quiltmaker who has developed her unique method of photography and thread painting into a fine art. She had eight quilts and some photographs on display at QFestival. I first saw her work at Quilt Visions and was fascinated trying to figure out how she had created that quilt. Since then I have seen and admired her work at shows, online and in magazines. She shares a website with her husband, a sculptor. http://www.mckieart.com/Pages/main_pgs/Main_home_frame.html
Barbara takes amazing photos, transfers them to fabric and thread paints them in a way that makes them so real I want to reach out and pet the animals.
Pretty amazing, huh? I have shown her work previously on this blog, check for her name on the right sidebar.

Del, don't pet the lions.
The sea lions, maybe, but not the African lions. ;)
I think my nose was 1/2" from the quilt as I tried to figure out how she does it!!
