Painted Quilts

^{Welcome to SherryArt Painted Quilts}

^{Here you will find my newest painted quilts, plus some quilts that go back as far as 1980.  These quilts are mostly watercolor paintings on Arches paper. The individual paintings are stitched together - yes I sew the paper on my Singer machine. Sometimes I stitch paintings to a larger Arches paper card and then sew the cards together. And sometimes I make prints of the little paintings, then embellish the prints with gold paint and watercolor, and then stitch the prints together. Sometimes I paint on canvas and stitch those paintings together. Most of these quilts will be for sale. Please email me for purchase information. I love making these!}

Russian Churches Quilt

Since 1976 I've been painting Russian churches, especially St. Basil's in Moscow. This year I made nine original water color paintings of churches all over Russian. I sewed the originals into a quilt and made two others that are printed, painted and machine-stitched versions of the original paintings. Here is the printed version and below is the original paintings version. I was unable to get a good photo of the second one because of all the gold paint. Please email me to purchase one of these. See oil paintings of St. Basil's here and here.

Potrero Garden Quilt

"Potrero Garden Quilt" depicts scenes from the steep garden outside my window when I lived on Potrero Hill in the 1990s.  This is still my favorite neighborhood in San Francisco.  The quilt is composed of laser prints of original watercolor paintings which have been painted over and then machine stitched together. Two coies of this quilt have been SOLD.  Please email me if you would like to purchase this piece.

Golden Trees Quilt

I recently found this beautiful quilt - one of the first paper quilts I made in 1980. I used to paint the little paintings and make small piles on my dining room table. Then when I had six or eight piles, I would spend a day or two sewing them into "quilts." It was very nerve-racking because I could easily spoil the whole thing if I tore the paper or the sewing machine acted 'funny.'
