I decided to take the challenge of making a mini quilt with “emerald” in mind.
After I had chosen my fabric I decided the green really had too much blue in it for emerald. So I added a light green horizontal quilting thread in the gray strips, darker green on the emerald strips, charcoal on the black, and a variegated blue and green thread to make the pine tree. Then I used brown on the trunk.
This quilt has a subtle look to the pine and draws you in for a closer look. It is stitched with organic lines approximately 1/8th inch apart.
Size: 16” X 18 1/4”
In the pines, in the pines …
From a distance I think of a pine tree against the night sky. As you come in closer you can see how it lights up and brings life to the piece.
The back.
The label.

Ashton takes Great Grandmother’s order for a cheeseburger, fries, and coke.
I had a quilt presentation in Tuscaloosa and enjoyed the WAQG meeting and show and tell. One of the ladies made Bonnie Hunter’s Easy Street.
We had the family in for pizza and after supper. The grands enjoyed the Legos – great fun for building and just mixing them up and pulling them out of the container.

Tell Ashton I want a burger and fries too, but I also want an ice cream cone! Give Mother and Ashton a hug for me.
Is the Bonnie Hunter quilt the same pattern you and Polly did a while back? It looks familiar.
I love your pine tree!!! Very creative use of thread.
