Silent Sentinel – Silo

And so, my silo quilt is all finished “as in done, finito, nothing more to add, ready to use/display/give away.” I was so glad for all the suggested names for my piece as all I could think of was ‘silo.’ How boring is that? And now I learned a new word, ‘sentinel’ meaning “a person or thing that watches or stands as if watching” from Dictionary.com. I had to keep pressing the button to listen to the correct pronunciation of the word. And now I’m afraid the dictionary man doesn’t have a Southern accent!  Anyway, here is my piece.

Silent Sentinel

$75.00 -- SOLD

It measures 8” X 10” and is fused and machine appliqued and quilted. I used an assortment of cotton fabric, tulle, and an assortment of cotton and polyester thread.

I finished it with “fast finished triangles” and it is ready to hang.

Silo Quilt Workshop

I had a fun day teaching these ladies how I make quilted fiber art from a photograph. I used my picture of a silo and showed them some of the techniques that I used HERE. Kerri sent me this picture of her finished piece yet last night. Job well done!

 

  

 

 

Two of the ladies opted to use their own images and made these pieces.
