I thought I'd continue to share more quilts from the World Quilt Show this week. There were so many that really spoke to me. Talented needle artists created the most stunning pieces, and I wish you could have seen every single one in person.
This quilt is called "Peeking In", by Anne-Marie Miro of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. It measures 59" x 39", and you won't believe all the "wonderful" packed into this small wall quilt! I see something more every time I look at it. It was machine quilted, machine appliqued', machine pieced and was her original design.
The creator described her quilt this way:
"Most pieces were raw-edge appliqued' and thread painted.
They were constructed separately and then used to form
the seascape. The coral, clam and seahorse are hand-felted.
I had fun hunting for the perfect buttons to enhance the
coral along with the setacolor paints."
Look at this stunning coral with the sweet, little clown fish! You can also see some of those buttons she was talking about tucked into the bottom left corner of this photograph.
One of my favorite things was the sea turtle that inhabits the whole corner of the wallhanging. There are so many touches that enhance the quilt, and I don't think a single thing seems out of place.
This little needle-felted seahorse is my favorite thing of all.
