Limbs

     Limbs is the second in a series of Trellis.  The inspiration was from a photo taken in Africa of a gnarly tree in the Wildlife preserve in South Africa.    I enlarged the photo and added additional branches.  The back ground is fused from numerous types of fabric and quilted in a grid.  The limbs are stitched extensively.  The edges around the limbs are painted with red acrylic paints to give a shadow effect.

 Limbs was exhibited in a SAQA special Exhibit at the Mancuso Mid Atlantic Quilt Show in 2012
