Gilded Scrolls

I've been holding off on posting this one, but as it has been delivered to the gallery for display, I thought you might like to see it too. If you live in the Seattle area, or planning a visit, it will be at Gallery 113, in Woodinville, WA for the month of October, so you can visit it in person. Of course if it is sold, it will move on to another home, but I'll still have a picture! Soon I'll have other items at the gallery, like paintings, jewelry, as well as less expensive things like cards and postcard art, although most of them need to fit with the theme of the month.

Gilded Scrolls

I've been holding out on posting this one, while I decided if it would be entered into any contests with photo restrictions or not, but finally decided it was time to go ahead and show it to you. In February, I took Ellen Lindner's Instant Art Quilt class, to learn her piecing technique, and made two quilts, this being the second. Since I'm a free motion quilter, I strayed from the class instructions when it came to quilting, and finishing with both of them, doing it my way (although I really like her piecing method and will do it again). I love the look of vintage scrollwork, so using copyright free scrollwork designs, it was quilted, and then the scrollwork was painted.
