Titled "True Love in the Saguaro Forest during a Full Moon", inspired by many camping trips in the beautiful deserts of Arizona.
The "mountains" were recycled from a men's wool sweater, the background is black felt, and the saguaros were made from leftover pieces of a quilt I made a couple of years ago (yes, I keep all my scraps!). For the full moon, I needle-felted white felt to the black background, and embellished the moon with many seed beads. Then I added the stars with a sparkly fancy thread. I embroidered the birds using the daisy chain stitch, and then I whip-stitched the red hearts and border. The finished piece was secured to the green mat, and I framed it without any glass covering (to better view the embroidery).
I really like the Folk-Art feel to this one! Now it just needs a shorter title. Anyone have a suggestion?
This art quilt will be titled and signed at the bottom or on the back (your choice), and delivered WITH the frame. It will be packaged carefully between rigid cardboard for safe arrival at it's new home.
Ships via USPS, insured Priority Mail. Thanks for looking, and please feel free to contact me with any questions!
