I am participating in
Blogger's Quilt Festival. It is hosted by Amy from
Park City Girl and coincides with Quilt Festival in Houston this year. Bloggers are sharing a quilt of their choosing and this is one of my favorite quilts. It features a scene from the front porch of my house during my favorite time of the year. It is small, only 12" by 12," but it packs in a lot of stuff.
"From the Front Porch: Summer"
The dragonfly was made with Angelina fibers for the wings, and a baroque pearl and some other beads for the body
.
I made the butterflies and some of the flowers using the caning technique with polymer clays. I hand embroidered with floss and silk ribbons
.
I had some fun with the embroidery buttons on my machine and variegated threads.
Rosie, my Bernese Mountain Dog, was created using fuzzy fibers on a separate piece of fabric, then appliqued to the quilt using a stumpwork technique.
I used hand-marbled , hand-dyed, and commercial fabrics. I had a lot of fun making this and I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks for visiting.

The number of unfamiliar-to-me terms you describe is intriguing; there is a lot going on in that square foot! Amazing and charming. Thanks for sharing your quilt's story.
