My zoologist friend visited me in June and picked up the landscape quilt I made for her. It is a portrait of the fen where she does her fieldwork.
The quilt is now happily hanging in its new home. My friend just sent photos, and here they are. I am so happy to see it in situ. The colors really work well with the rest of the room, I think. And my friend can work at her desk and dream about being out in the kayak - gliding through the grasses and visiting the bog buckmoths, the turtles, frogs, and dragonflies, all the while watched over by the deer and hawk. Yea!!
The complete story of this quilt's creation starts here with her photos and fabric selection and creating the landscape, and continues with creating the animals, more detailing and adding the borders are here and here, and finally, photos of the completed quilt. I'm really grateful to my friend for the inspiration to create such a detailed and exciting quilt.
