Shadows Of My Mind
Juried into AQS Paducah – Chattanooga – Des Moines HM 2015 – Daytona Beach 2016 – 3rd NQA 2015 – 3rd Overall QSC Exhibit Columbia, SC 2019
This quilt was inspired by memories of farm life. The old pump, hollyhocks and the ghost quilted antique tractor are a part of my childhood. The background is machine pieced and manipulated with ink to create the barn. The window is discharged. The original digitized thread pieces are appliquéd on by hand using the same thread. All appliqué is turned on Mylar batted and applied by hand. Ink is used extensively to shadow and accents the design. Many different thread colors in the quilting represent the natural landscape. The plows are printed and inked. Flower centers are felted then applied by hand.
