lwilson Simon Says - This quilt was designed to hang in the foyer of the new school in which I am employed as a literacy coach. I based the tree design on a Leisure Arts cross stitch design and received written permission from both the designer and Leisure Arts to use the image in my quilt. The designs are appliqued and trapunto is used on the quilt. The lettering was done by printing the words on printable fabric and cuting and fusing each letter to the background. I used an adaptation of Karen McTavish's filler technique for the background quilting. I'm quite proud of this quilt.
