Another six quilts from past SAQA Benefit Auctions. These are all leaves or trees from various years and countries. I am fond of trees and their leaves, but I also look for different techniques and artists with a distinctive style. Four of the artists shown here show their particular style.
Commercial cotton fabrics, cotton batting, cotton thread.
Beautiful hand applique.
