Opera House for SAQA Benefit Auction

My donation for the annual SAQA Benefit Auction is complete.
Opera House - 12"X12"

The Sydney Opera House is considered to be one of the most distinctive buildings of the 20th century. It's unique roof structure is "a series of gleaming white sail-shaped shells."

Detail

I started by finding a copyright free image in Unsplash
and used a photo app to edit the picture ...

... and printed it onto fabric that I had ironed to freezer paper and then sent through my home inkjet printer

I quilted my piece on my domestic Bernina  using a walking foot to +/-1/8" lines apart.


Then I free motion stitched over the image to give it more definition.


Next I stitched between each of those lines making the quilting even closer together. Notice the difference between the top and bottom of this picture.


Signature on the back.
