Portrait Art Quilt

Ivy is a portrait art quilt, 10 X 12 inches. It's created with free-motion embroidery and paint on cotton. I used a limited palette so the focus would be on the girl and the expression on her face. The back of the quilt is solid black with a sleeve for wall display.

The quilt is inspired by my sweet Gran who told me many stories about her days as a girl, which, when I do the math, was one hundred years ago. Amazing. Gone but not forgotten, she still inspires me.
