Pure Country Quilts - Pond Quilt 72”x48”
|
The background for this quilt was made in a class I took from Jan Krentz in 2002 utilizing a pieced diamond technique that results in a ‘Monet” look. After having made the background, I decided it definitely needed to be a pond themed quilt. The Snowy Egret was the first focus of the quilt, and the rest evolved from there with really no ‘structured’ pattern at hand. As each element was added, I would then determine what next needed to be done. Techniques used in making this quilt include fusible appliqué, free motion embroidered pond critters that were later appliquéd to the quilt, couching for special effects, and multiple embellishments, as well as free motion machine quilting. This quilt has won first place at local quilt shows and has been submitted to the International Quilt Festival at Houston for possible acceptance in the 2003 show. |
