Resting on an autumn day

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Outdoorsy


Materials

fabric, inks, embroidery, quilting

What was your inspiration?

I saw a line drawing of a man in the park with the bare trees just as it is in the picture above and I like the picture and wondered if I could make a quilt out of the line drawing. I used inks for the background and added the man on the bench added the house and walkway. I quilted and embellished it with embroidery. I have not decided how to totally complete the quilt. Do I just bind it or frame it or what? So right now it is hanging on my design wall until I decide.

What are you most proud of?

I'm most proud that I was able to create the quilt from the sketch and it turned out better than I expected.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it!!
