Lots o' fotos






I finished up several small photo quilts just before I went on vacation, but didn't have time to post them. So here goes: "Filoli Trellis" (white flowers, brick wall) has some machine stitching to emphasize the shapes of the vines as they didn't stand out enough when printed. I did this before it was quilted. "Frank's Garden" (pink, green, and white) is a photo my cousin sent to me of a vine in his back yard. "Eucalyptus" is a shot I took at the Inn at Squaw Creek when I was attending Art Quilt Tahoe there last year. And "Hawaiian Flowers" is the photo I posted earlier of a picture I took at the zoo in Waikiki. These are all small--each print is about 8 x 10 after it is sewn. "Hawaiian Flowers" has only four prints, the others have more.

Oh Marina! WoW!
At the moment I'm trying to work with art journal quilts in a 8 by 11 inch format and I love what you've done......particularly the Eucalypts......vases.

Those vases looked so fabulous in the hotel, the way the light hit them, and the window behind--I knew they would make a great photo. At the time, I was not yet making photo quilts, I was planning on doing a watercolor painting or maybe just printing the photo on paper in the usual way.
