I continued working on the sequoia tree and finished it up yesterday.
This is the picture that I took and worked from.
I tweaked it on the computer to lighten it up some …
… and then changed it to “antique” or “sepia” to print it onto fabric that I had ironed to freezer paper.

This small quilt only measures 8” X 10 1/2” and is made from cotton fabric and 80/20 batting. I used Superior’s King Tut thread for the quilting and thread painting and finished the back with “fast finished triangles” for mounting.

Great use of perspective. so very effective. Similar idea of what I want to do with one of my son's photos. Thanks for sharing this, it is very encouraging.
What an amazing quilt! Is the dark center tree applique or just from the printer?
The quilting and thread work are very effective!
Just beautiful!
This is a powerful image and wonderful quilt. Congratulations on a beautiful piece.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
I love this! The thread painting is fantastic.
So beautiful! We have visited the redwood groves in California twice recently, and I wondered if I could quilt a picture like this, but I haven't done it. Yours is wonderful!
What a wonderful quilt, and such a great technique. I think you captured it so well with the sun coming through the needles, the perspective of the height!
WOW! "That's so cool I love it", my 11 year old says while sitting next to me...and I agree! The stitching, everything, is amazing!
Love, love, love this! I think the quilt is more beautiful than the picture itself!
Oh MY! Your thread painting is so fantastic! It is amazing that you were able to capture the photo so closely!
Thank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

Wow. This is art. Great quilting and a great angle, too.

Back and front are totally great! You should hang it in the middle of a room!
