"Inspired by a photo taken of a green sea turtle in its natural habitat", Melanie Marr wanted to portray the tranquility experienced by this gentle creature. "The blue-green of the water makes this a very calming quilt, which is why I named it Serenity." Featured at Houston 2019, Melanie incorporated free-motion machine quilting, painting, and drawing to capture the calm and stillness felt as the turtle swims along.
Serenity by Melanie Marr of Houston, Texas was featured in the Painted Surface category at Houston 2019.
