2020 MSC Artists' Showcase

The Mississippi State Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts will present their 2020 Showcase at the Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Center and will be filmed for showing on social media. Frank Janka will adjudicate the showcase, and his comments on each artist's work will be included in the film.

The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. --Wikipedia

This piece answered the call to make a piece of fiber art referring to 'blue' and 'home.' "When Gustave Eiffel designed his namesake tower, he cleverly included a private apartment for himself where he hosted famous guests, like Thomas Edison. The apartment is now open for the public to tour." -- Wikipedia

I used "Google Street View" to find a pleasing view of the tower and saved a picture of the scene. From there I used an app to my liking and then printed it out onto fabric and free-motion machine stitched on top of the design. It is quilted with Superior Threads +/- 1/16th inch horizontally.
