so-to organize my brain I have decided to post all quilt-type stuff on Mondays. Having said that-
here's one of mine called "rocks and sticks". This is the first in a series of 3 that I made about 1 1/2 years ago-I have shown them in Portland only once. So this is "rocks and sticks" second debut and she is so happy to get a chance to be seen! This is muslin with all other colors hand dyed by me. Machine pieced and machine quilted. I drew the machine stitching pattern on and used my mom's Gammill to machine stitch. Overall size is about 50:W x 40"H.
here's some stitching detail. This is so hard to photograph well. .
organic shapes in the machine quilting pattern, leaving the pieced pattern more rigid.
the "rocks" are machine appliqued with a zig-zag
this looks like rocks being dropped in a puddle of water.
