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.

Flipper -- SAQA Fresh Fish Project

"Flipper"

I made this piece for SAQA's Florida Fresh Fish Project. They asked for both fresh and salt water creatures for an exhibit at the 2022 SAQA Conference in St. Petersburg.

Frank Janka will adjudicate the showcase, and his comments on each artist's work will be included in the film.

I'm thrilled to have 3 pieces included in the exhibit.
