"A Study of Hosta"
- Exhibited at Quilt Odyssey 2003, Gettysburg, PA.
Machine pieced & free-motion quilted, fused applique, Sulky thread.
Hosta is one of my favorite plants. It loves shade, every few years you can double
your collection by dividing them, and the various shades of green in the leaves of the
different varieties is endless. I thought Hosta leaves would be a perfect candidate for
free-motion quilting their deep veins.
Here's a closeup of the detail on a leaf which shows
the free-motion quilted veins.
