Eiffel Tower II

Eiffel Tower II -- 2018
7.5" X 10"

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.

My first attempt of the tower was quilted +/-1/8th"

Rhianna Makes an Art Quilt

While I was in Virginia this spring, I helped my niece Rhianna make an art quilt. She drew a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Then we translated it to fabric and she quilted it.
