April - Head Carrying Water


A month ago I started working on a small quilt art 28 X 17 inches.

The center is a panel that I bought at Puyallup WA Sewing Expo a couple years ago.


The quilt represents an African couple head-carrying water to their village.

I picked an African swirling print fabric to create borders. I added triangles as a border to mimic the hut roof shape.

On the bottom right corner, I hand appliqued some water containers to create a sense of movement and showing that the couple has been carrying water for a while.

Some loops were added to hang the quilt on a rustic tree branch. The loops are attached with bone buttons.

Enjoy!
