Reaching Out (30″ x 45″) is the finished piece of quilt art work that came out of the hot weather we had back in July. I expanded parts of ginkgo leaves and a pitcher for this design. Using a fusible interface I created the leaves and pitcher. Next came the challenge to put all the parts together. I used paint and stamping on the background fabric before adding the leaves and pitcher to make it more interesting. This quilt is now hanging at the Lake Oswego Library in Portland Oregon for the month of October as part of a group show for Tactile Expressions. Tactile Expressions is a contemporary fiber arts collective.
