Back at the end of February, I blogged/complained during the making of this quilt. If so moved....you can click here and again here to see those posts.
After the stand off I experienced when it came to quilting the screen printed sections, those poorly executed stitches were removed. AND.... I settled in for many peaceful evenings hand embroidering the pine needle images. The right decision in my humble opinion.
PINE NEEDLES 41" X 30.25"
Artist deconstructed screen printed images, machine pieced and quilted, hand embroidered.

ReplyDeleteI really like the way you divided up each block, that little square of green in each one adds so much.

ReplyDeleteThis is great - I love the fabric and you have really made the most of it here.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully. Congratulations on the finish.
ReplyDeleteSo much right about this design, imho. The more I look, the more I see what is making this work so well. And with my structured sensibilities, it is so pleasing - the Frank Lloyd Wright framing of the natural world beyond.
ReplyDeleteMary: hand quilting is such a treasured art. I love these prints... and with the quilting I am sure it is just stunning. Thanks for sharing. Love this.
