Cathedral Trees

This quilt is based on a photo I took of my husband and our two dogs in the redwoods not too far from our home in Northern California. Taking photos for an art quilt was a great excuse to get out and go for a walk in a beautiful place. The redwoods have always been home for me, and I enjoyed working with such a familiar and comforting landscape. I especially enjoyed creating the threadwork details with Machine embroidery on water soluble stabilizer.
