DIane has been zooming across the country for several years teaching for Handi Quilter. I think this quilt is stunning. . . now I want to go to the opera!
Artist’s Statement
“A Night at the Opera” was inspired by the crystal chandelier in the Opera House at The Kennedy Center. My husband and I have been attending the operas there and appreciating the chandelier for over 30 years! I’ve been wanting to use that inspiration for a quilt for years! This quilt is part of the Handi Quilter National Educator’s 2023 Black & White Challenge.
Zoom in to see the quilting. Designed with Pro-Stitcher Designer. Quilted with Pro-Stitcher Premium on my Handi Quilter Infinity.
