{"product_id":"charisma-horton-new-york-city-quilt","title":"Charisma Horton New York City Quilt","description":"A striking 2016 New York City art quilt by award-winning quilter and designer Charisma Horton, measuring approximately 26\" × 42\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe piece depicts a densely layered Manhattan skyline in luminous shades of turquoise, aqua, lavender, pink, yellow and blue. The cityscape is based on a printed architectural textile, which Horton has transformed through extensive custom quilting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLook closely and the real artistry becomes apparent: individual buildings and architectural forms are delineated in thread, while dramatic radiating quilting sweeps upward through the sky. The stitching creates extraordinary texture and dimension across the surface, allowing the skyline to change subtly depending on the direction of the light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse reveals the extent of the quilting and is finished with colorful batik-style fabrics and a handmade embroidered New York label. The label identifies the work with “SE ’16,” dating the piece to 2016.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Charisma Horton\u003cbr\u003eNew York \/ Manhattan skyline art quilt\u003cbr\u003eDated 2016\u003cbr\u003eApprox. 26\" W × 42\" H\u003cbr\u003eProfessionally quilted textile artwork\u003cbr\u003eExtensive architectural and free-motion quilting\u003cbr\u003eMulticolor cotton textile\u003cbr\u003eHand-embroidered NYC label\u003cbr\u003ePieced colorful backing\u003cbr\u003eIntegrated hanging sleeve\u003cbr\u003eFinished and bound by hand\/machine\u003cbr\u003eSigned\/identified work by a recognized professional quilt artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharisma Horton is an award-winning professional longarm quilter, prolific quilt-pattern designer, teacher and fabric artist whose work has appeared extensively in quilting publications and through major fabric companies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good pre-owned condition.
