Based on a 19th century counting rhyme; all 10 verses are rewritten and the quilt designed to incorporate various "meadow" elements described in the verses. Quilting under each verse guides the viewer through the landscape to find and count all the elements.
100% cottons, corduroy, organza; various threads including silk, cotton, polyester and wool highlight intricate thread painting and 3-dimensional foliage. Wool batting.
Techniques used: raw edge applique, machine piecing, machine appliqué, fabric painting, 3-dimensional structures (mushrooms, basket, cattails, flowers, fences, tree and stump); hand embroidery (401 french knot "apples"); detailed machine quilting, particularly on the top and bottom borders which mirrors the meadow scenes.
Juried into several national quilt shows
