At the beginning of 2015, I decided to start a new series of tree quilts.  The new series will be more abstract than my previous series<\/a>.  Each quilt will be 36 inches long and widths will vary from 14 to 18 inches.  They will all feature a tree or two, but each one will have different techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trees will be based on one of the photos below, or possibly even more abstract like this<\/a> quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Exuberant Trees’<\/strong>  Completed in January 2015.  For the first quilt in this series, I selected non-realistic colors to force myself towards the abstract concept.  I had a fabulous multicolored piece of fabric in my stash for the tree, set against a background of black & white fabrics. Read about my process here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Foggy Winter Day’<\/strong>  Completed in February 2015, the second tree was inspired by the very foggy weather we had in the Vancouver area.  While driving, I noticed the ghostly shapes of trees in the fog, and knew I had to try to reproduce the effect in an art quilt.  See more about my process here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
