This quilt is the first piece in my “Crime Scene” series and depicts blood spatter and drops of blood on a fallen bedroom curtain fabric which has been dissected and displayed on 9 small frames.
Inspired by Module 5 (Small Studies & Working in a Series) in Heidi Parkes' first ever year-long Quiltmaking with Heidi Parkes class. Also inspired by memories of my mom, true crime genre, the families and victims of domestic abuse and murder.
**DISCLAIMER**
The pieces included in this collection do not contain blood, and are not based on any specific crime
scene, but are created intuitively by the artist using fabric, natural dyes and ink.
