Pirates Cove
 

This is my first shot at an "art quilt". The photo does not do it justice. There are lots of jewels in the treasure chest, lots of seashells along the shore. Coconuts in the trees. All of the fish in the water and the seagulls were embroidered on my Bernina.

My oh my! I think you have done well! I really like it

I like what you did, it is lovely. Was it fun to do?

Oooh sounds devine, maybe you could try posting a few closeups?? Even though we can't really see all those wonderful embellishments what I can see looks like a beach nice enough to be sunning on!

Absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful seascape!

That is wonderful. Very creative.

VERY pretty!!

You have done a wonderful job. I admire anyone who can do these art quilts.

Nice job. That's a great 1st! :thumbup:

It is Fabulous! Thank you for sharing and inspiring. I am learning free motion machine embroidery; it is fun and challenging. Hope to accomplish something this wonderful sometime in the near future.

Beautiful seascape!!

Nicely done. Looks very inviting. Can I go now please?

Great wall hanging :)

Brings back childhood memories of a board game called "Pirates of the Carribean" (w-a-y before the movie). It had "real" jewels and a treasure chest. We can see the texture in your amazing quilt and can almost feel the jewels and seashells. Where the waves deposited the seaweed is so realistic. Fantastic work!

very nicely done!

Very nice and your first. Can't wait to see more.

Looks great. Good job.

wow this is really nice wish I could do something like this

Your quilt is really a 'treasure'..a true work of Art!!! Visually stunning! Very inspirational.

I vote for more close up pics too!!! Please...

Here are a couple of closeups that I took. The quilt is hanging in the museum right now. So I'll try to get a few more closeup when I get it back.
thanks for looking.

Well, darn, I guess I took these pictures before I put the coconuts in the trees. Well, there are coconuts in the last photo, but the top trees wound up with beads for coconuts and they are not on in this photo. This quilt came totally out of my head. I started with the clipper ship, then the islands, and went from there. I see some things that I would change (I think),but for the first attempt, it was a lot of fun and a little stressful. lol

What a little treasure you have made! It looks real. Great job!

Lovely, I see the buried treasure!

Awesome quilt!

I'm ready, if you are......

very realistic,great art quilt

So imaginative and creative! Wonderful work

Great Job, Hope to be able to do something half as nice one day.

That is a very neat quilt. You did a good job.
