Flower Wagon Group Results

Posted on February 14, 2011, 12:23 pm, by ellen, under Uncategorized.

Way back in May of 2010, I offered up some photos of a flower wagon as the starting point for a challenge.

Several people, (including me,)  have created quilts or other art using these photos. ( Just search on Flower Wagon Challenge to see all related posts.)  Contempos, a group in Sarasota, FL also took up the challenge, and sent me photos of their completed quilt.

Isn’t it great?  I love the way the tree runs off the top edge.  And the great contrast throughout.  This quilt is currently on display at the Arts Council of Manatee County,in Bradenton, FL.  It will be there until the end of February.

It’s hard to tell that this piece has any seams, but take a closer look.

See the floral fabric in the next photo?  They created it with markers and alcohol!

 

And this wheel is painted.

The top left tree is felted.

 
The next photo shows some of the 3D leaves and grasses.
 
 
In addition to the techniques mentioned, this piece also includes thread painting, rusting, hand embellishment, burning and couching!  Wow!  What a creative interpretation! 
 
You can also see this quilt at the Friendship Knot Quilters Guild
upcoming show, March 11 & 12.
