.While visiting the Maryhill Museum doing their off season the director was kind enough to give us a special tour. When we left the grounds were deserted except for several elegant peacocks that make the grounds their home year round. They didn't seem to be bothered by us and graciously posed for several pictures. This wall hanging is one of the images that I took that day. I will post the photograph separately. It was an image that I wanted to capture permanently and so I did it with my textiles and threads.
Go for a walk he said
Looking at the trees
Snow falling filled with cold air
I felt a tug no an embrace
Yes a kiss of warm air
Filled with shimmers of green and yellow
A thin place of summer air ..........
Orginally I made this pattern as a lap quilt. I so loved the materials that I made it as the original was intended - as a wall hanging. Pattern is by Angela Besley (modified slighty from the Sarah's Quilt pattern) in her book "Rose Windows for Quilters". It is heavily stipple quilted on the black. Finished in 2005
My Nana made this for my brother when he was a baby - probably 1977 or 78. It's about 24" tall.
She doesn't remember it, and when I showed it to her she didn't believe me when I told her she'd made it. Alzheimer's is just staggering.
The piece has some damage from moths and general decay, I'm working on restoring the missing patches as best I can.
*Update*
Thank you guys for all of the nice comments!
I'm so happy to have this, it's a great inspiration. I may just have it restored professionally, I'm afraid that when I take it out of the frame, the fabric will be too weak to work with.

This is my winning wallhanging in the Sonoma County Fair which opened in Santa Rosa, California yesterday. It is second prize with strong competition. I purchased the fabric in Santa Fe,New Mexico which gave me the idea for it's title..."Santa Fe Nights". It is quilted and the trim and buttons were added after the quilting to give it a bit of glitz. It measures 30 inches by 50 inches.
a week's interrupted work... not my usual style, but I wanted to see if I could make something coherent with that wild patterned fabric waiting in my stash... found objects include construction debris, paper clips, a theatre button, a shell and a feather (lift the zebra flap to see the last two)
I had trouble with the trees, it's so difficult to get all the points together so it's slightly wonky. It actually made me smile....those trees look just like my real-life tree which is slightly out of balance as well :)
A 2 year wip. Finally finished the handquilting. Only binding to go. Red polka dots. This hanging will be on the wall in my laundry. That is a room that needs some cheering up doesn't it!
The pattern is by some Aussie girls - at Material Obsession. Exquisite patchwork patterns. This one was a freebie in an aussie quilting mag about 3 years ago...
The 2016 challenge no 4 is a map, and as the weather is so wet I am sticking with a stitching theme and photographing things around me. The background of this wallhanging based on the Ring of Brodgar is a map of mainland Orkney.

Sunset quilt. This is the "snippets" technique. It was so much fun to do. I'd like to do another one but I can't think of any ideas.
