<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">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. --<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower">Wikipedia</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">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 href="http://www.toureiffel.paris/en/exploring-the-eiffel-tower/the-floors.html">a private apartment</a> for himself where he hosted famous guests, like Thomas Edison. The apartment is now open for the public to tour." -- Wikipedia</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">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.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I quilted my piece on my domestic Bernina using a walking foot to +/-1/8" lines apart.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I free motion stitched over the image to give it more definition.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When my sister Sheila saw my peacock <a href="https://juliagraber.blogspot.com/2014/08/peacock-quilt-palatial-plumage.html" target="_blank">Palatial Plumage</a> she fell in love with it and wondered if I could make one for her. She helped me with so much of my domestic work that I decided to make her one. She helped choose the fabric for the background and has a guest room where she wants to display it. In the mean time, I hope it can do some traveling.<br /></span></div>
