The lack of Internet set me back a little yesterday but I did finish Geraldine and also “Quoth the Raven”
I’ve loved working on this Quilt. It was an ‘introduction back to the studio’ quilt. The fabrics are a mixture of scraps that I’ve collected. The background is furnishing linen. The small squares were samples at Quilt Market by Carolyn Friedlander and the Raven was a print on fabric I picked up at a thrift store. The pot is my own designs as is the quilt o course.
The tree was drawn on with pen and I enhanced it with thread. It reminded me of some of the trees I saw on safari in Kenya.
I quilted it on the sweet 16 and followed the pattern on the fabric, but I decided to had the curly bits as well.
As always, the back of my quilt is as important as the front and I like it as much as the front. I used Osnaburg for the back. The binding is red Cherrywood from my extensive stash.
This little quilt just sat on the machine and I worked on it a bit at a time. It was creative heaven. So indeed this quilt is a true ‘capture and create’ quilt.
I love the sketched effect.
I’ve been building castles for the past week on the Bayeux Quilt and this was a total contrast.
What a wonderful quilt Pam. I just love it.
Thanks Carolyn, it was an experiment that worked.
You are SO creative!
Pam, you are exactly my opposite in quilting style. I am not creative but I follow a pattern like no other. I am so inspired by your work to actually try something different and even if I never do I love to watch you at work. I always look forward to your posts. You are an inspiration to all!!
Wow! This is gorgeous! I’m just about to embark on the beginning of my journey into quilting and this is totally inspiring! Thank you for sharing 🙂
