The Lost Garden


I had to go far back to find my memory, from my early childhood. We had a cabin back then, out of the city, with a garden full of flowers and berry-bushes, which my grandmother planted in the 1930s. There also were a lake near by, where we used to go bathing with our row-boat. @I decided to go abstract, seeing the flowers in the front, and an overview with lake and forrest in the background, as if seen from above.
Mono-printed and painted calico, machine-quilted and hand-embroidered.
And some close-ups:

    Hi Greta,
    Your quilt has a very mysterious feel for me.
    The layering is very effective.
    I love the mono print effect. You've inspired me to finally give it a try.

    The close-ups show some wonderful stitching and texture. The colours also seem more vibrant up close.
