"Millefleur," a 78" x 68" wholecloth quilt by Jan Hutchinson of Newton, KS. Longarm quilted.

"Wholecloth" in this case means that she started with one piece of mottled teal fabric and all color and definition in the finished piece comes from thread quilted atop.

Seen at the Pacific International Quilt Festival yesterday

Stunning although I’m pretty sure a lot of the gorgeous flowers are appliquéd fabric not “quilting thread”.

Not that anyone who reblogs this version will see this, but @isopodbrood sent me a great addition explaining the thread painting (not applique)

the quilt you reblogged- everything in the blue-green color is the original fabric and everything else is thread painted. here is a tiktok explaining a little better! https://www.tiktok.com/@macouturecrafting/video/7396996679813172523?_r=1&_t=8olI5oZVrbi

Have you ever seen a white Common Raven (Corvus corax)? No, this isn’t a new species… or a ghost. 👻 This Raven’s striking pale plumage is the result of the genetic mutations leucism or albinism. Leucism is a reduction in all types of pigmentation, including melanin. Albinism is the inability to produce or distribute melanin. One hint to tell the difference? Individuals affected by leucism often have blue eyes, while individuals with albinism have pink eyes. White Common Ravens are rare. An estimated 1 in 30,000 individuals is born without this species’ signature black plumage.
