This piece is titled "Going to Seed". The Grand National Quilt show attracts works from some of the very best Canadian textile artists right across the country, it is a fabulous feeling to see your work hang among them so I am especially thrilled that Going to Seed received an honourable mention.
The show runs until June 23rd, if you are in the region, I hope you will take it in.....there are 3 rooms whose walls are filled with incredibly inspiring works.
Over the next few posts I will show how this piece evolved, it is made up almost entirely from items garnered at rummage sales and thrift shops. Until then, here are a couple of detail shots

Just beautiful! Very impressive. You not only are a skilled artist, but obviously very patient and determined. Wonderful work.
Wow it's Fabulous Jill, can't wait to see and hear more about it, the definition in the fabrics and quilting is outstanding. You have always been one of my biggest inspirations!

Oh my, how beautiful. Congratulations on your honorable mention. The quilting looks amazing, I'll look forward to learning more about this gorgeous piece of work.

Jill, I do know what you mean about so long on a project the visual impact is off key. I too feel very much like that with my current project the Smithers Centennial Quilt.
Love you work, its so refreshing!
gorgeous! Congratulations on your ribbon
Wow! This quilt is stunning. Looking forward to your posts on it's construction
It sure draws your eye down there at the end of the room and the close ups are even better. Looking forward to your construction posts. Congrats on your honourable mention.

It's fabulous!
It's gorgeous! Congrats!
Look how striking it is from far away! Just gorgeous. I can see a lot of hours in all that hand work. I too have wool that I have "harvested" and felted and am someday going to do a project along the lines of yours, only not so grand. I'd never tought of the wool on a cotton back. I'm looking forward to future posts on your process as I have many questions on the cotton/wool marriage. I do! ;-)
Wow! This is sooooo visually stunning! I love fiber art, and this is the perfect demonstration of it! Awesome work!!! Congrats and a fabulous piece!
You rock Jill!
