The texture of the trees and snow always intrigues me.
Peaceful....I just don't know what I would do if I ran into a large animal...
So after being inspired by the greens and blues of this walk, I created this piece.
A Winter Walk in the Woods- 36x32
I haven't done the binding yet. I must dye the deep navy blue again and am waiting for some pfd fabric I ordered. Maybe I will put a visible binding on it. What do you think? I heavily quilted it with the lines being less than 1/4 inch. And I quilted each block separately which added some time to it. Heavy quilting also added some wave so I wet blocked it. It did help. I think I need to flat bind it because it is not a perfect square!
I like this piece because it captured what I wanted to represent visually from my walk. I know from an art perspective it isn't a great composition but I do like it. And I will take that today.
Now I must move on to spring colors. Happy sewing, my friends.
i like this colleen, i like that it isn't a perfect square or rectangle too.
ReplyDeleteColleen, I love this one! I think the composition is good, but I am not expert! At first I thought it had an unusual shape, but after seeing the second picture, I realized the dark blue is part of the quilt, not the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks girls-I like it's not perfectly square too.
ReplyDeleteThe dark blue is the background. It's one of the pieces that I "flat dyed". And I love the uniform color.
I am glad to finally like something I did!
Are these all your own hand dyes? It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes they are. From a Carol Soderlund workshop last winter- 3 fabrics stacked in a container with 3 different colors poured on.
