Design Source - Description |
Original, art quilt features my hand-painted fabric that was inspired by a summer bonfire on the lake at sunset, roasting marshmallows, telling stories, watching the ever-changing colors of the fire, lake and sky... This one-of-a-kind hand-dyed and painted fabric features sunset hues in soft pinks, corals and soft golden yellow tones with a hit of chocolate brown richness as the sunset fades. Intricately quilted with lots of thick metallic threads, building on the fire theme where silver, black, copper, and gold foil meld together with sparks of turquoise, red, pink and orange as the fire crackles and wood pops and sparks... It really brought back memories of roasting marshmallows! A soft, creatively curving binding follows the lazy line of smoke from the fire, as it collides with spunky sparks, floating upward into the late dusky night sky. An original design from MarveLes (Leslie McNeil) Art Quilting. Approximate size is 20" wide by 36" long. |
