See "Brewing Friendship" a quilt by Kestrel Michaud

Two animals meet on a country road by chance. Is it a Brewing Friendship? Kestrel Michaud created a lovely rural scene through the use of appliqué, digitized embroidery, and machine quilting. It's so sweet when animals meet.

Here's a note from the artist Kestrel Michaud:

Thank you for all the love! You guys are the best! :lol:

Just to clarify, the digitized embroidery is only for my signature in the bottom right, which is not shown on any of these photographs. This quilt is 99.99% raw edge appliqué.

If you are interested in learning a bit more about it, I have the story behind this quilt as well as some videos of the process of me making it on my website: kestrelmichaud.com/.../...

Love you all! :lol:

Brewing Friendship by Kestrel Michaud won First Place, Animal Kingdom, sponsored by eQuilter.com, at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2019.

I'm amazed! Just when I think I've seen the most beautiful and inspiring piece of art, I see this. We had a similar experience with our lab and a horse on Mackinaw Island in Michigan....the y met nose to nose. Your work is breathtaking and it makes the viewer actually FEEL. One doesn't just view this quilt, one actually FEELS it.

I have never seen anything more beautiful then this quilt. I am not really a quilter but I enjoy painting and do have a great sewing machine to embellish some of my paintings. Will follow this gifted lady .
