window on the forest

Description

You can read all about the process of me designing and making this quilt on my blog, here, here, here and here.  The design invokes the idea of a window set into a wallpapered wall, looking out onto the forest and the creatures that live there.  The quilt is 100% hand stitched.

This would make a lovely quilt for a child’s room, or as a living room throw or lap quilt, as a wall hanging or even to keep in the car for passengers having a nap!  If you wanted to use it as a wall hanging, I can add a hanging sleeve to the back – just request this when you place your order.

The quilt measures 89cm wide by 90cm deep and is made of 100% cotton, as is the wadding inside.  The all over hand stitching is cotton perle embroidery thread and the stitches are of a utility style, which looks different on the reverse of the quilt to the front.  The stitches are hand ties and crow’s feet – you can see what these stitches look like, and the various colours I used in making them, in the close up picture.
