Walking on Sunshine

Betsy Hughes

Walking on Sunshine is a fabric collaged art quilt stretched onto gallery canvas. I adhere layers of small fabric pieces onto a base fabric to create the design, then cover the entire piece with tulle to hold the small pieces in place. It is then layered with batting and a backing fabric before using the sewing machine to free motion stitch the entire piece. I cut the finished stitched piece to size and stretch it onto a canvas.

I’m not really a horse person, maybe because I never really was around them much, but I do appreciate their majestic beauty. I had a photo of a beautiful horse in a green pasture. I knew I wanted to recreate something similar in an art quilt, so I decided to use yellows around a dark colored horse. I imagine this horse funning freely in a never ending field of yellow flowers.
