… 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.
I really like the artwork of Robin Whitfield and took a beginners watercolor class with her.
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.

Label on the back.
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing it with its inspiration. Nice to compare them.Nice quilting!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! I hope you will enter it in a show. It deserves some recognition.
