I had a great deal of fun collecting botanicals...
painting fabrics and setting them out
in the sunshine...
to create these sun prints...
My favorite part of any quilt is...
the machine quilting!
I do love yummy thread work...
The border fabric is a hand dye

LuAnn, I really love this quilt. I had no idea it was so big! Congrats on your best of show.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Lynda! Over the years I have been telling myself to scale down my textile projects, but everything I do turns out jumbo!

LuAnn Kessi
This is an amazing quilt and a well deserved ribbon!
ReplyDeleteI love how you created your own fabric with great colours for this quilt.
Thanks so much Marie! Surface design work on textiles is one of my favorite things to do....and it is even better when I use that fabric in a project.

Very nice quilt, but tell me about your green sweater, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joyce! I don't crochet or knot.....bought the green sweater at Dress Barn a couple years ago. It looks even better when I wear a contrasting colored shirt under it, then you can really see the pattern show up.
