Early Spring



This is still journal 3 of 2008 but I added hand stitching to the trees in an attempt to draw focus to them and away from the "background." I had been looking for a way to create what I "saw" in my walks in the woods, putting the emerging green of spring into softer focus. Coming upon this piece of fabric which had been screen printed was exciting. Quilting the line of the trees was interesting but didn't seem to be enough.

I'm not so sure about my "no rules" approach to my goal of weekly journaling but I am satisfied that I am making work.

Lovely! So gentle and springlike (to me) and the handstitching is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm enjoying watching your tree quilts evolve and change with the seasons. Beautiful. Shanny
