This original design art quilt wall hanging features a pieced background with three dimensional Hollyhock flowers, some in full bloom and others in bud stages.

The Hollyhock flowers and buds are created with a deep red felt and the centers are yellow yarn attached with yellow threadwork. The edges of the felt has been stitched and then melted with a heat tool for nice curvey edges.

The flowers along the bottom of the piece are handmade made with a silky rayon and have beaded centers.

The leaves were created by cutting various green fabrics and leaving the edges free. Other leaves along the Hollyhock stems were created with dark green felt, stitched and melted along the edges.

The entire wall hanging was created using raw edge applique for a three dimensional look.

It is embellished with threadwork and clear beads were added to the leaves to give the impression of rain drops.

The art quilt is bordered with a blue batik fabric and it is bound around the edges of the quilt with the same fabric.

This is machine quilted using a low loft batting so it hangs beautifully.

This art quilt is ready to hang in your home or office with a hanging sleeve for a dowel or rod(not included) along the upper back edge. There is a signature label on the back of the quilt.

Measurements of the fiber art piece are: 40 inches wide by 37 inches in length

Many hours were used creating this quilt during the unusual rainy period we had this spring in the Idaho panhandle....hence the name! After the Rain.
