An iron gate opens to welcome you to serenity.
Hand-dyed background with minimal quilting using smoke monofilament thread.
Black Kona Cotton cut on the bias in 1/4" strips. For the rods further away I shaved off a scant 1/6th of an inch from the 1/4" strips. I used Roxanne's glue to keep the pieces in place. I used a 1/6th" satin stitch around all edges. Facings finished the quilt.
Serene and lovely. Gate is beautiful. Excellent use of our current them!!!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful ! Background colors are beautifully serene; and as others have mentioned, the gate peacefully invites us in to that serenity.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did you manage to trim off 1/6th of an inch on that black fabric ! And then stitch all the gate pieces with a 1/6th satin stitch ! My eyes hurt even thinking about it :-D
Beautiful quilt !
