A work inspired by caladiums and impatiens growing in my front yard. Leaves and flowers burst out of daylight into the night sky and onto the earth. Placement of the main leaves was taken from a photograph, the rest is from imagination.

A quilt created for a challenge competition entitled "Star Power," using preselected fabrics, as well as other perameters which needed to be adhered to. My interpretation was loosely based on Van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting. Metallic threads and beadwork were used to make this piece really shine! This quilt took first place in the competition.
