This quilt was taken from a photo of  boots by the door at an Historic House in Hahndorf South Australia.

I made the top ages ago, but have only just got round to quilting it.

I used a suede fabric and I’m happy with the result. The wall and brick fabric was illustrated prior to quiting.

The entire boot was appliqué with a small open satin stitch with mono filament thread.  have used thread and a variety of stitches to illustrate the appliqué. I quilted the wall behind the boots quite densely, but I have left the bricks to stand alone, I think it would spoil the effect if I added other lines to distract from the boots.

  am quilting the border with mono filament thread so I don’t loose the beauty of the pattern on the fabric.
