The Accidental Embroiderer

Fragments of Summer – the quilt version

I’ve missed a week’s posting because we’ve been in Edinburgh
for several days, enjoying some of the brilliant events that the city has to
offer – theatre, exhibitions and a lot more. So, as I haven’t done much design
work recently, here’s a project that Cherri Kincaid and I worked out some time
ago

It’s based on a painting by my mother, called “Fragments of
Summer”. Cherri thought it could be translated into a beautiful quilt, and
asked me to digitise the squares.

The original painting of Fragments of Summer

 

This was a quick and uncomplicated job, and
Cherri then assembled the squares into a quilt that was slightly different from
the original in arrangement and colours, but still had the same delicate,
evanescent charm

Cherri's quilt version

I think it works beautifully both as a painting and as quilted art
