Pelican Parade, by Joanne Baeth, was the winner of the Outstanding Art Quilt category at Road to California 2013. It is her original design and measures 62" x 43."
Artist statement: Great flocks of white pelicans arrive in April in the area where I live in south eastern Oregon. They remain to nest and then fly south in the fall. Heavy machine quilting with many colors of thread was done to enhance the design. The sky was painted, inks were used to shade the pelicans and each bird has over fifty pieces.
Joanne previously spoke with TQS about another of her award-winning quilts. Here is what she had to say about her quilting process.
