Barbi's Mexican Holiday
1999
24" h x 31"w
SOLD

On a recent trip to Mexico I was compelled to buy the glittering Barbi doll shoes at a traveling marketplace. By the time I returned to my studio, I knew Barbi must have worn a different pair each night of her Mexican holiday, dancing the nights away.

The blocks are machine pieced of mostly Bali batik fabrics, then machine quilted
with an echoing Barbi head sillhouette in each. Confetti pieces and shoes are
hand tied with cotton floss.
