A Glimpse Through the Lattice

I finally finished this piece of fiber art last evening by adding the label on the back. You can see my process HERE.

A Glimpse Through the Lattice
In days gone by, Southerners escaped the heat by sitting on a shady front porch and listening to the cicadas' rhythmic song. Neighbors could drop by for a short visit and spend the afternoon shelling peas and telling tales over a glass of sweet tea and a slice of pie. This quilt invites viewers to look through the lattice of the past to a simpler, slower time and rest a while in the rocker while reflecting on their own memories.

Beautiful! I wondered how you were going to bring this idea to fruition. A future Bloggers Quilt Festival entry?

I enjoy creative quilt photography as much as quilts, and your photo with the quilt behind the model chair is lovely. As is the quilt.

Oh my! What a beautiful piece - it's got a luminescence that really pulls you in. Your detail work on the chair is lovely, and I do really like that photo with the prop rocker!
