Quilting by Louise Taylor |
|
|
Louise began quilting after retiring from the business world in Los Angeles. Each of her pieces is created out of her love for this creative art form. Quilting has allowed her to express her creativity, and she has found that this art form is a natural extension of the beauty of the mountain area she calls home.
Her quilts are lovingly constructed with amazing detail, and combine multi-colored batik fabrics, which give the piece a three dimensional quality. The fabrics have a great variety of color and patterns, which help to bring the piece to life. The technique used is appliqué, placing a vignette from nature or a capricious scene on a textured background. They are sturdy and well crafted, and can be hand washed with Woolite, dried flat, and then pressed to refresh their beauty.
