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!

Nice! The tree branch hanger is a very cool detail!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I thought it would look rustic and that it works with the art.
