Product Description
"Mini Wall Garden #1"- 5"x7" Mini Art Quilt mounted on 8"x10" fabric covered canvas- Stones and Walls Series.
This is one of a pair of small stone wall quilts I made by "building" a stone wall from many tiny stone shaped fabric pieces. There are many types of fabrics used including silks and cottons, some painted for certain effects. The sky fabric is one of my handpainted pieces, and the flowers were cut from floral fabrics and appliqued on. The flowers spilling over the stone wall are embellished with glass beads.
Freemotion quilting was done with clear thread, and the quilt edges are bound with an ivory yarn. The art quilt was then stitched to a pre-stretched artist canvas that I covered with a piece of my hand painted fabric. Picture wire attached to the back makes hanging a breeze. The final photo shows this quilt hanging with the other half of the pair. They also look great by themselves.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
My Stones and Walls series of Art Quilts came about as a result of an online challenge. We were to try a new fabric type we had never used before, and I decided to use some silk kimono scraps I had on hand. I was also fascinated with stone walls and buildings, so combined the silk pieces with the stone wall idea, and my first- "Wisteria Window" was born. It featured a stone wall of a building with a window that had Wisteria vines climbing over it and other flowers at the base of vine. It was during the gray days of late winter, and I was craving a flower garden"fix", so I continued to make more walls with gardens. I was truly "gardening with fabric".
