Spain National Dress
I've wanted to make a National Costume quilt for many years, but I could never narrow the countries I wanted on the quilt down to a workable amount. Finally, this challenge gave me the right impetus to come up with the perfect solution. I'm making a geography book for my granddaughters called "Girls around the World." Each two-page spread will have a large picture of the girl in her national costume on one page, while the flag and map of the country will be on the other. Backgrounds are scrap collaged, then covered with a thin layer of acrylic paint.
