"Sue Cracks Up"
Original batik quilt
Sue Cracks Up was my quilting entry for California State Fair 2006 where she won a blue, as well as hanging in Pacific International Quilt Festival.
After hanging in two shows and winning a prize, she has been in the closet. She's ready to come out now and grace your wall. 29"x30" not counting the prairie points, she has a sleeve for hanging.
Each panel or block in Sue Cracks Up was batiked individually using traditional hot wax on good ol' 100% cotton. The sashing "in between" the blocks is actually included on the same piece of the Sue or sunflower. They are stitched together by machine and machine quilted with cotton batting and cotton back.

Batik is a process of fabric dyeing that uses wax to resist the activity of dye. I dye and wax in many steps. The wax is applied when melted, but cools and can crack, allowing dye to seep into the cracks. Because the wax obscures the fabric, the final appearance of the piece after wax removal is often surprising.
All of my batiks come from a smoke free home with Cat Patrol.

MILPITAS!!!! No shipping to Milpitas because I don't have to ship it, it's already here! (I can’t stop the cost form appearing on your invoice, but I CAN send you a new invoice just refund you.)
SHIPPING COSTS—the shopping cart cannot calculate shipping based on postal zones. Shipping costs shown are the maximum you will pay. It will probably be less. I can send a new invoice, or simply refund you. TO know for sure before you buy, contact me through eCrater, blogment, or email for a more exact amount.
