Garden of Daedalus Art Quilt by Lisa Penny

About this Artwork:
.I drafted this large embellished art quilt based on a labyrinth that was formerly in the pavement of the
Abbey of St. Bertin in Saint-Omer, France (which now in ruins).

There are over 2,400 individual 1 1/2 inch patches making up the paths. I used many different cotton
fabrics to mimic plantings in different areas of a garden. Each area is embellished differently, using
satin flowers, silk bow ribbons, cashmere yarns, and beadwork in pearl, polished shell, turquoise, glass,
agate, tourmaline, jasper, seed beads, mother-of-pearl, and cloissonne.
Finished with a hanging sleeve for a decorative rod. Not suitable for regular use on a bed.

This piece is featured in the book 500 Art Quilts, published by Lark Books, 2010, and was
displayed in a special exhibition at the 2010 Houston International Quilt Market and Festival.
