{"product_id":"aprils-flower","title":"April's Flower","description":"April's Flower - I took a class from Art Quilter April Sproule of Sproule Studios in Fortuna, Ca. I had so much fun in this class and learned so many things. I used different threads to make leaves. It was my first time to use silk; we burned the edges and painted on each petal to give the flower some life. I used silk doupioni to make the stem. I used a skirt fabric for the swirls and net for the dragonfly.\r\n The quilting was done by April Sproule because I knew I didn't have the skills to sew on this fabric. I just love how the quilting and thread she chose has enhanced this piece. It looks like a fine picture and I am keeping this for myself to enjoy. \r\n I'm not intimidated by silk as I use to be. I really enjoyed her class and learned so much. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nancy Branch \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e April Sproule of Sproule Designs in Fortuna, Ca. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nancy Branch \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 x 90 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Branch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54048582009107,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/4053472_q.jpg?v=1776178629","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/aprils-flower","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
