Sing Me of Sweet Things

A commissioned piece completed in September of 2017. My customer, a carpenter and musician, hosts house concerts at his home in New Hampshire. Staged in front a of picture window, he wanted a backdrop for the concerts that would absorb sound, but also depict the fantastic view of the White Mountains from the window. One thing led to another, and we added friends and family playing music around a campfire, and his wife and grandchild romping with the dog near the vegetable garden, all set on a warm summer evening in June. Measuring 70″ x 53″, this is another ‘kitchen sink’ quilt, featuring machine piecing, hand and machine applique, thread painting on tulle, hand embroidery, some painting, fusible fabrication, etc. This quilt was awarded 2nd place in the Landscape category at the Asheville Quilt Show, Fall 2017.
