Here goes!







After several requests I have actually managed to upload some photos of at least one of my finished pieces. This quilt is the first quilt I have ever attempted and this is the art side of it. There is a photo of the traditional side before I pieced it, but I will have to upload photos of that side finished at another time. This quilt is also my first attempt at art quilting. I created it for my sister and her husband in commemoration of their wedding. The imagery used in the art side of the quilt makes reference to various moments in their courtship. Though you can't see it well in the photos, the actual "quilting" part of the quilt (the stitches that bring the back, front and batting together) is actually an image of my sister and her hubby on the beach in Hawaii at their wedding.
