I finished this art quilt, turned it into the guild, and now it is on tour with the group. There were quite a few tree art quilts turned in for this challenge. When it comes to the area again, I plan on going to see them all on display. For any of you in Alaska you can see the quilts in these locations.

This was a fun challenge to enter. Here is my quilt and how I finished it.
I added green ribbons and yarn randomly to the tree area.
Then I couched green yarn all around the top to outline the trees. I couched black yarn with a touch of other colors over the whole area. This way only bits of the greens showed through to give the trees more depth and interest.
I finished the edges and sewed on a few more beads, then called it done.
I didn't get this post written sooner, because I have moved. We finally have a house again, so all my time has been spent in unpacking, taking care of my family, and working. My new studio is about halfway unpacked. Once I get that done I'll share some pictures and I'll be able to get started on a new project.
Until then I'll probably be pretty scarce online.
Have a great week,
Janelle
