Inspired by a photo by Velvet D’Amour, used with permission of course!
All done! We got the frame/hanger attached yesterday, which I just love. We found it at Restore in Abbotsford in a pile of wood bits and bobs. The clerk just gave it to us with a “Have a nice day!” Thanks!
We had my brother cut it down a bit to size, then I took it outside on the concrete and smacked it up a bit more to “age” it (what did the neighbours think at the sight of me smashing a hunk of wood on the ground lol!).
I ended up folding back the side edges of the quilt to clean it up a bit, then left the bottom edge frayed- I ripped it a bit more so it looked like something you might find inside this house.
Details on the windowsill- plants with red glass beads. Also, I used a doily from my late gran’s stash in the window- it worked perfectly for the reflections on the glass!
The wagon wheel was super fun to do, I need more images like this to play with!
Leaf details, I didn’t count the leaves, though Norm suggested I should, but I am certain there are millions of them.
This piece is now available for sale, contact me if you’re interested! I’ll also have more coming shortly- they are going to be used for another magazine submission as well that is fast approaching- I better get busy non?
I think it’s your best piece yet. Congratulations on the beautiful piece. I hope you’ll continue to do more larger/complex pieces like it. It’s marvelous!
What a beautiful, fabulous piece. I love it!
I love it. And the hanger is the best idea ever! It is so beautiful and creative. Very, very, very well done! It’s completely amazing!
just gorgeous!
I’m back again! I just can’t get enough of this piece – I just love it! Thank you for sharing it with us
This is just so beautiful.
That is absolutely beautiful!!!! And I’ve discovered you’re not very far from here, becoming a follower!
Hmmmm….interesting – unable to ‘follow’ because apparently ‘this blog doesn’t exist’. How do you like that? Any tips?
It is beautiful! I aspire to do something like this … someday …!
Lovely. Your trip was really inspiring.
[...] million bazillion little leaves and freemotion stitch them all in place, similar to what I did with the Paris House piece. Must dig out my tweezers [...]
