The journal quilts this year are to be 8 x 10 inches, with the first four containing a piece of purple, no less than 1/2 inch square, the second four containing s piece of orange and the last four containing a piece of green.
A walk in the Isabella Plantation a few months ago was the inspiration for my first four. It is many years since I have visited, and besides the improvements to disabled access and the better paths, I was struck by how many of the trees, even rather ordinary looking ones, not just the ancient oaks, have numbered tags. I hope this isn’t indicative of how worried the parks are about the state of these trees.
Using fabric i already have, ( tray-dyed, repurposed linen sheet; Procion P painted cotton, dyed pelmet Vilene) this series was the result. Called “Counting the trees"
These look great - I can't zoom in but there looks to be some lovely quilting too x
ReplyDeleteNice looking series. I hope that the tags are more to do with recording than anything more sinister.....
