A Lively Live Oak

Pegonhiltonhead

About ten years ago I took a picture of three children playing in a huge Live Oak tree.  I always wanted to try to make it into an art quilt but did not have enough confidence or skill.  The children would be young adults now and I felt ready to try making this quilt.  I used commercial and hand-dyed fabric and for the skin and face painted tan fabric with Caran D'Ache crayons and then covered with fabric medium.  It is heavily quilted using my home machine.  I hope someday they get to see the quilt and recognize themselves and remember the moment.
