I had every intent to sandwich and start quilting Bailey's quilt today, but took a detour. It was a fun detour! I have a good friend who has a birthday this week and wanted to make her a thread painted picture. I found a photo I took when she and I, years ago, headed out to the beach for a day. We both LOVE the ocean and feel God's presence so vividly there and see the awesomeness of his power and the beauty of his creation all in one fabulous place.
With the help and hints from Alison Holt's Machine Embroidered Landscapes I set off on my adventure to try to recreate in thread the ocean waves as they break coming onto shore. I'm quite pleased with how this piece has turned out.
This takes my breath away BJ.
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful BJ. I can almost see the ocean mist. Love your thread work.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBarb, Oh! This is so wonderful! I love to see what your working on. (Been sick again). That is why you have not seen me around. Some type of flu bug. Feeling better. What does that mean? Quilting time again!!!!! Hugs Morgan oxoxoxoxox
ReplyDeleteBJ, I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with your lighthouses and now this - I can smell the salt spray and hear the seagulls as I look at this! You are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not see this before--it is AWESOME. I love it! And Alison Holt is my all time hero. Hero! I love this book too.
