This island scene was made as a project for my book: “Fabric + Paint+ Thread = Fabulous”

The background is painted and the tree tops are constructed of thread.

This little scene was a cropped version of a large view of Stone Lagoon.  That Big picture was called “Beside the Still Waters”.  I used this smaller quilt as a project in my book: “Mosaic Landscape Quilts”, available on my website, or Amazon.

This tine quilt was Mosaic pieced, with applique trees and machine quilted.  There is a nylon overlay.

Foothills

Foothills

16″ x 20″

This little scene on Hwy 36 inspired me to paint this piece.

The center section is painted on cotton fabric and then quilted through and a small binding attached to the edge.  Then the outside area is a wrapped canvas of 16″ x 20″ which is painted to look like an extension of the picture.  The little quilt is stitched and glued to the larger canvas.

The quilt hangs like any picture with a wire.
