Ann Harwell - "St. Philip's Through a Live Oak" a Houston 2018 Quilt

With a stunning view of some oak trees from Charleston, South Carolina as her inspiration, Ann Harwell (Show 1802) created her quilt, St. Philip's Through a Live Oak. Featuring machine quilting and machine piecing, the majesty of the quilted tree makes it difficult to tell where the tree ends and the sky begins.

St. Philip's Through a Live Oak by Ann Harwell of Wendell, North Carolina was featured in the People, Portraits, & Figures category at Houston 2018.

Harwell’s work is a wonderful rendering of of a ‘snapshot’ of place and time. Viewing the quilt on my iPad I’m able to zoom in and out to get up close to the sections; there’s a ton of technique to study here from the use of color value to elicit dimension to the clever piecing coupled with variations in the quilting formats. I’m saving this in my reference folders as I’m sure to come back to it again and again for inspiration and guidance.

I think that's Ricky standing under the tree, leaning on the building!
