Via Dolorosa detail "Tree of Jesse" quilt

Genette — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 16:24:28 GMT

The street scene was taken from a photograph in the early 1900's. I tried

to capture the age of the cobble street and buildings of this street. Again

I want to keep it as a suggestion to the scene rather than take away from the window.

The finished quilt Tree of Jesse

Genette — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:26:50 GMT

This quilt has taken me about 18 months to make after the idea swished around in my head for a few years. The window is digitized, appliqued and embroidered. Around that is my rendition of the street scene of the Via Dolorosa in the form of quilt lines. on either side I quilted palm leaves from palms in my yard as patterns. I absolutely loved making this quilt.

Tree of Jesse

Genette — Tue, 10 May 2011 01:18:29 GMT

This is the first block of a quilt that might take me some time to digitize and embroider but it is a project that has been on my mind for a long time and I love watching it come to fruition. The Image is from the Chartres Cathedral's 12th century stain-glass window: The Tree of Jesse.

Poet Quilt

Genette — Sat, 07 May 2011 22:07:36 GMT

This is a quilt that I digitized and quilted to honor my husband. I let him choose the poets and their poetry that would be around him on his quilt. (He is in the second row.) I digitized his picture from his driver's license. It was fun to gather the pictures, poems and their autographs to make this quilt. I also gained great respect for their poetry of these great poets . .
