Gateway Arch

 Here's another piece I recently finished.

Gateway Arch

8"X10"

From this picture ...

... I made a line drawing.

Detail of the stitching and couched thread I used for the arch.

This piece went to a friend, Marilyn who is part of the Southern Fiber Artist group.

Friendship Oak

Friendship Oak -- 8"X10"

Detail

This live oak tree continues to stand in Long Beach, MS. It has a long interesting history that is recorded HERE.

I adapted the picture with a photo app, ironed it to freezer paper, and sent it through my printer and then ...

... quilted it. When it was finished it just didn't have the pop that I like in my quilts. So ...

I enhanced it with brighter fabric and Superior's varigated thread. Here you can see the difference the change made.

This is for my friend Rena.
