Hidden appliqués will help bring
these embroidered details to life
once stitches are added overtop!
The vivid illustrations seen on these quilt
blocks are sure to transport you to the
African plains! The exotic and beautiful
artwork in this quilting collection
was inspired by the famous works of
African artist Edward Saidi Tingatinga.
Tingatinga’s artistic style is iconic and
easily recognizable, featuring surreal
imagery and caricature-like illustrations
of many African animals. The whimsical
look to the art was immediately
adored by tourists and residents alike.
Consequently, Tingatinga’s style was
perfected and taught to other artists in
Tanzania, ensuring every work of art
produced followed his vision of quality
and craftsmanship.
Now, we wanted to pay homage to this
beautiful genre of art by replicating the
style of Tingatinga’s works in a quilting
collection. By using sunset-inspired
fabrics in our background folds, the
embroidery and appliqué designs will
take on a new life in their Savanna
Sunset settings! Stitch these blocks
out as a full quilt, or create a statement
piece perfect for any room!
