Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire! by Cynthia St Charles
From the Hand Dyed Gallery
Size in inches: 41 x 39

Price: $3,500

"Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire!" evokes a feeling of flaming balls or nebulae. The foundation of this piece is discharged black cotton which was overdyed with shades of red to yellow, creating a fiery impression on cloth. Machine quilting was done with a variety of metallic, polyester, and rayon threads. This quilt has been heavily beaded to the point that it is practically a piece of jewelry! The beads add even more fire and sparkle.
