"Scilla Closeup #2" Mini Art Quilt- 5"x7"- From the Spring Silk Photo Series. Reg Price- $25

This little mini quilt highlights a cropped photo of bright blue Scilla flowers printed with archival inks on silk fabric. The silk photo is bordered by a crazy patch of assorted ivory, pale colored, and white cottons. The vinelike and leaf freemotion quilting is done with a variegated thread in shades of blue. The silk piece is edged with a black with gold metallic yarn couched on, and the edges are bound with the same yarn.

Final photos show this with others in the series that can be purchased separately.

This will make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to be surrounded by nature. Mini quilts are sized for standard size frames, they can be mounted to artist canvas, or even displayed as they are.

My photos printed on fabric help me to bring my own gardens and other sights from the wonderful world around me to my quilts. At a distance a garden or other area may not be very appealing, but upon closer inspection, single blooms, leaves, or other things have much beauty. I am striving to bring that beauty in nature to my art quilts.
