"Poseidon's Epic Adventure" Wins a Ribbon at NQA

I am too busy with a family visit right now to enjoy any creative time by myself, but imagine my surprise when I opened the boxes from the NQA show with my returned quilts!

Poseidon won a ribbon!  For Most Effective Quilting!

Faerie Forest Revealed

"Faerie Forest"

20" by 20" 

 I made this for the SewBatik Challenge at this year's NQA show.  I used the challenge fabric for the big tree.  The background is one of my hand-dyes that looks like a forest.

The door and window boxes in the stone cottage are also from the challenge fabric.  I hand embroidered the flowers for the trumpet vines above the stone wall next to the cottage and the little flowers in the window boxes.

I hand embroidered the bunnies and little purple flowers.

The birds were also hand embroidered, then appliquéd to the quilt.
