Techniques: 
Piecing and free-motion quilting were done by machine.  Colonial knots were embroidered to create the stamen for each of the flowers.  The Kanji characters for "Comfort", "Joy", "Peace", and "Hope" were first rubber stamped onto the red silk fabric and then hand painted with gold fabric paint.




Materials: 
Raw silk, commercial cotton fabrics, and holographic cotton fabrics, as well as threads of cotton, rayon and mono-filament nylon were used.   Embroidery cotton floss was used for the colonial knots.  The batting is polyester batting.  Gold fabric paint was used for the Kanji characters.
