When walking in the rain, carry a brightly colored umbrella and you‘ll contribute a touch of cheerfulness to a wet, dreary day.

Techniques: Fused raw edge appliqué, and machine quilting are the basic techniques I used for this art quilt. Buildings are edge-stitched. People and umbrellas are outlined with zigzag stitching. After sandwiching the quilt, I machine-stitched ‘rain‘ with a variegated black-white-gray thread. The binding is turned entirely to the back, as a facing.
