After weeding the gardens around our deck of the dead foliage from last summer, I accumulated a pile of dead agapanthus (Lily of the Nile) stems. They looked a little skeletal and sad, but I liked the way they looked almost as much as when they were in bloom. Using that inspiration, I created my 12" X 12" SAQA Benefit Auction piece. The piece is Kona cotton, hand-dyed, and over-dyed using a Shibori technique. The agapanthus stems and leaves are raw-edge appliqued, then thread painted. I free-motion quilted the background.
