Anne's fall panel

Anne likes to make art quilts - takes something very simple, and embellishes it to make it fabulous.  This one is a panel that she cut apart, sewed back together with a solid fabric between, then was super creative in adding embellishments.  It's 30 x 56.

I quilted a wiggly line in the red strips, an added some leaves in the larger areas:

More leaves in the green border:

and a swirl in the one strip of a green batik down the right side:

I quilted 3-4 lines in each of the letters:

and added bark to the tree trunk:

I added a leaf in one of the open areas:

and apples in the red fabric she put with the basket that she added:

I outline several leaves with a red/gold/green variegated thread:

She added toile to some of the leaves and pumpkins to make them sparkle

and give them texture:

She is so creative in the things she added:

birds

a scarecrow complete with fuzzy hair and at the hands

and a yellow leave that already had veins in it

The pumpkin fabric had some glitter on it, so I used gold metallic thread to accent some of the pumpkins

The backing is a solid green with a strip of the glitter fabric through it.  You can see a lot of the quilting that I did on the back since it's a solid.
