About the Project

The heart of the Shining Light quilt will teach you how to create your very own French Boutis—a heritage tradition of “stuffed quilting” that they are incredibly excited to share in amazing detail for the first time ever in an online workshop of this kind. Think of it as similar to Trapunto but totally reversible: an extremely clever and sophisticated technique with the ability to add playful depths of light and shadow and fine detail into a quilt top, the likes of which you won’t have imagined before.

The finished small quilt will be perfect to decorate a wall, and the colour palette will no doubt be inspired by the numerous great artists who have painted this stunning landscape including Cezanne, Matisse and Van Gogh! Your mini masterpiece will be full of charm and the workshop will encourage you to add your own je ne sais quoi and make it a truly special keepsake.
