This is my "Vestibule", inspired by photos of a building by Frank Lloyd Wright:
Regular readers are well aware that I have been working for my City & Guilds Certificate in Craft and Design for Patchwork and Quilting (to use the full name for once) for the last few years. This involved a serious amount of sewing and art, and has virtually kept me from any other sewing. Now it is all finished except for a few last stitches, I am looking forward to starting some new projects - and finish some old ones! I have so many ideas in my head...
For the course, I have had to make a cushion, a bag, a box, a wall hanging, and a bed quilt (see the City&Guilds tab above if you want to know more...). Unfortunately, the bed quilt is the one that needs a little more hand quilting to finish, so it cannot now be entered into the Festival (maybe next time). But the Wall Hanging is finished and has been hanging in it's place above the stove for a few months now.

What a great idea! I love your quilt with 3d depth. It's beautiful how it's presents on the wall.

I like the depth conveyed in this quilt. The colours, too.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Blogger's Quilt Festival. Love this quilt it is stunning. The quilting is great and I love that you posted a picture from the back!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is amazing! I love it. You're so clever to translate that photo into a quilt. I'm going back to study the photos on your blog again. It looks so good hanging on the wall. I really feel tempted to step to the left so I can see what is further down the hall wall. My local embroidery shop in Wellington, New Zealand runs City and Guilds courses, but I haven't joined (yet),
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt! That is truly lovely, and the back view of the quilting is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat quilt! I love the fabrics and colors you chose, they really draw you in.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt and how you faced it!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful entry.
Your quilts are wonderful:))
ReplyDeleteVery cool! It looks rather mysterious above the stove....where does it go? :) sew glad you've joined the Festival...isn't it such fun?!
ReplyDeleteOooh, it's beautiful! Congrats on finishing City & Guilds!
ReplyDeleteFeels like you can walk right into the quilt. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSandra, this piece is exquisite! I've spent a good amount of time at Taliesin West (local for me), I'm a huge FLW fan! Congrats on finishing this beautiful piece and the City and Guilds Certificate!
ReplyDeleteThe perspective you achieved with this quilt is great as well as the use of small prints that read as a solid in the design. Nice craftsmanship.
