That seller has so many beautiful pieces. This is the kind of quilt I’d be more likely to make (if I can ever stop being so lazy!) - a piece of beautifully dyed fabric and then lots of quilting and embroidery making up the general design.
These are made by machine stitching on water soluble fabric, then draping it over a mold when it’s damp. It’s a technique with a lot of possibilities, and this seller does make gorgeous items.
