Yesterday, I showed how I glued my quilt to a
prestretched canvas. Here is the result.
You can see how I finished the edge of the quilt with a specialty yarn (hand dyed by me)
zig-
zagged to the quilted edge. And also how I stitched over the pebbles with a variegated pearl cotton (in the very colors I used in the quilt)
And here is the piece in it's final form:
And a final detail.
I don't usually have difficulty coming up with a title for my work. It usually comes to me in the final stages. This time - it didn't happen for me. I would welcome suggestions. Thanks!

This is LOVELY! The fabrics are fantastic - so much texture. ANd those rocks? Genius!
ReplyDeleteAs far as a name - I think something with "root" in it: Rooted in Stone, Rocky Roots, hmmm...
I've been watching the progress of this piece and I love the way it turned out. I'm not good at titles, but how about "the good earth"
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of are some kinda bad puns: And the Beet g\Goes On or Can You Beet This? Sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDelete"Just Beet It"!
ReplyDeleteCynthia, I am in love with this and I only like pickled beets! LOL! I just love the beets, the greens, rocks, roots, everything! It is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your process. I have enjoyed it so much. Wishing you a sunny weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love it! You chose just the right method to hang it! How about 'Cross section of the beet crop'? or 'Beets growing in rocky soil'... whatever you call it, it's a wonderful piece!
ReplyDeleteWell Cynthia, all I can think of is "Beet It!" (but that sounds like Michael Jackson)... how about... "Just Can't Beet It?"
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful and unique.
Just beet it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Thanks for all the great suggestions! These are very helpful - I am sure I will be able to come up with the right title now!
