This is a pictorial seascape quilt I just completed for my good friend in Indiana who has a love of seagulls and lighthouses. It is fabric collaged with Mistyfuse and glue, then embellished with threads, glitter tulle, organzas, and rhinestones. The seagull was first hand drawn, then cut from batiks that resembled soft fur, then thread painted. The seagull's tummy was made from batting covered with white tulle and the entire seagull was stuffed trapunto style to create dimension and loft, then appliqued onto the sky. Distant background seagulls were hand painted with Tsukineko inks. The quilt is borderless and measures 21-1/2" by 32."

I plan to ship this to her this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it doesn't get lost!

Get appraised if possible before sending. Would hate to loose that and only get for the materials.

Wow! That is fantastic. I'm sure your friend will love it.

Blue's quilting mama 10-23-2011 08:16 PM

She will treasure this!
Make sure when you send it that it requires a signature at her end....or at least some tracking like with UPS or FedEx.

I wanna be you when I grow up. It is my dream to be able to create beautiful art with quilts and fabrics. How did you do it? So much detail, so very realistic, how did you even know where to start (that's my problem I don't have a clue where to start or how) Words can't even tell you how impressed I am. GREAT JOB!
