I’ve had some exciting news from my friend Cherri, who I’ve mentioned before. She often enters quilt competitions with considerable success, and I’ve done designs for her quilts in the past. Some time ago she asked me to draw and digitise a figure that would be recognisable as “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”, which she wanted to use in a quilt she was designing for the Hoffman Quilt Challenge, and I was of course only too happy to do this. Cherri then put the figure together with diamond shapes and to cut a long story short, her creation won First Place in the “Best Use of Aurifil thread” category.
Lucy in the Sky
This is just the central panel – there's a lot more happening around the edges. Also Cherri embellished the final version with glittering crystals and other kinds of bling. To see the whole quilt, and to read the story of how it was made, have a look at Cherri’s blog, The Cherri Tree
Your rendition of Lucy in the Sky in embroidery is Spectacular and looks Phenomenal as the prime center point of your friend’s Fabulous quilt!I can see why she took 1st place.
Wow!!!! Excellent piece of work! Well done! I can see the consonance between your and her work! Thanks for sharing and have a nice time.
Congratulations to you too! I always look at your photos before reading the text so what you write doesn’t color my first impression and it struck me right away that it was Lucy! 🙂
WOW! Cherri’s quilt(s) are beautiful. I did scroll through her blog and see a number of her quilts sport your artwork. What a great team you guys make. I’m sure the picture doesn’t do the quilt justice since all the crystal work doesn’t really show up. Mia, congrats to you too!
Mia, congratulations to you and Cherri for excellent jobs.
Woo Hoo–what a great accomplishment for both of you!!
