… as a Quilter

I finished my “Cypress With Moss” quilt last week.

I cut out the pieces from cotton fabric and fused them onto a cotton background. It measures 16”X20” and is heavily machine quilted.

She gave me permission to translate her work into fiber art. So, from her watercolor painting “old cypress with spanish moss / Sky Lake WMA - Swiftown / September” on the right, I made this fiber art piece on the left that I call “Cypress With Moss.”

I used “fast finished triangles” on the back so it is ready for mounting.

Oh, I love it! You did a great job with the quilting and thread painting, and I think your colors are interesting. I just went on a swamp tour with my sisters last week, so I'm really into cypress trees.
