    Amazing. I didn't know the fabric was painted by hand. Puts a whole new light on material, doesn't it?

    Enjoy!
    I had seen this year ago on Simply Quilts It very interesting to watch how they do it.

    I too like the blue hybiscus. Very interesting photos, I'm glad you shared them. I also wondered how little they are paid, but as you mentioned, it's probably very little in our standards. Looks like it would take a toll on the back and shoulders.

    I've heard that it was hand painted but until I saw these pictures, still thought a machine did it, I guess. Thanks for the pictures.
