Found Another Small Quilt!


 Back before my Ohio trip, I posted on finding some small art quilts...most from my online class with Hilary.   I was in my sewing room and looked up on my cork board and guess what!  I found another one!  HA  

It's the pink one upper left!  






It's already sandwiched and quilted...but needed binding or the edge cleaned up!  Now the story behind how this one happened to be created!  






I don't remember how the birds got in the photo that was on my blog!  Knowing Bill, he just happened to find the birds on the tree and took the pic!  
You can see above where I added more branches to the trees just to fill in.  Again, this was part of an exercise in Hilary's class.


This was the screen I had made from my friend's better half in Florida.  Bill is a photographer who takes great pictures.  This tree was actually growing in the front of the community where Bob and I would winter in Ocala.  The tree was going to be cut down so Bill took a photo and  I asked if I could copy the pic and hence, had a thermofax screen made from the original picture.








The little quilt was completed by free motion quilting but I never finished the edges.  So that's what I did!  I couldn't decide how to finish.  I got lazy and decided to just use an embroidery stitch on the edges.



Just a funky stitch but does the purpose of keeping edges from fraying.  I need to clean up edges and maybe fill in with paint to cover the batting or threads showing.  But otherwise, this bugger is finished!  Onto the next block to finish!
