Charles Rennie Mackintosh's furniture, buildings and stained glass are
an excellent example of this. I've seen a magnificent rendition of his
'Wisterias' done as a stained glass quilt. All in shades of
pu-pu-purple, but nevertheless it was stunning and a faithful rendition
of the original window.
Another time, I attended a Catholic Schools Principals' meeting and the
backdrop they used was a colourwash quilt made to resemble the stained
glass window in a local cathedral. Somehow, by using careful print
selections, the quilter had managed to capture the effect of light
shining through glass. I later found out that the quilter was the sister
of the nun who made the stained glass window! Both were huge (the works,
not the nuns!) I heard the window suffered some damage last year in the
big storm that flooded Newcastle. I'm not sure where the quilt is being
kept now.
