This quilt was inspired by the scenic beauty and wonderful memories of visiting the Mt. Shasta Lavender Farms with friends and family over the years.   This area is a hidden gem with majestic Mt. Shasta looming in the background behind the colorful rows of purples and greens.   You can almost smell the fragrant scent of lavender in bloom!    Using a combination of photos I had taken of the lavender fields,  I began this in a Nancy Ryan workshop called Impressionistic Landscapes using snippets which are then covered  with a layer of tulle and then machine quilted. I took artistic license with the variety of colors of lavender in my quilt.  It is finished with a flanged binding.  

It will be part of an exhibit of "Quilts of Mt. Shasta" hosted by the Mt. Shasta Lily Quilt Guild at the Mt. Shasta-Sisson Museum in Mt .Shasta from May 31 - July 30, 2017.
