Dogwoods
We travel to Paducah, Ky occasionally for the quilt show. It's the time of year that the Dogwoods are in bloom. When "a tree" was the challenge for one of my Fiber Art Friends' projects, I thought these dogwoods would be something a little different than my normal subjects. I chose to use both white and pink blossoms where two trees overlap.
The methods are mostly applique. The blossoms have paint details, some are stitched down and some have petals that float above the surface of the quilt. Many of the centers have a bead embellishment.
All wall quilts have a "sleeve" attached at the top back for easy hanging using a dowel, or curtain rod.
