"Midnight"


Midnight is the name of this new quilt. Living in the far North of Canada makes for long summer days when the sun just barely drops below the horizon at around midnight and then pops back up again soon after. The sky turns brilliant pinks and oranges and purples. It is so beautiful and in the woods, nestled amonst the trees and the mountains are the beautiful lakes that reflect the beauty all around them. The wildlife is also prevalent around here and it makes it that much more enticing to be here. I love living here and I love making quilts about the beauty around me.

This quilt is about 2 1/2 feet by 3 feet. It is complete with the hanger to hang it on the wall with.
I found some gorgeous fabric that graduated in colour from yellow to dark purple so I cut the purple off and made mountains and used the yellow end of the fabric for the lake. Then I used a seperate piece of fabric for the silouettes of land and moose. So basically the picture part of this quilt only has two pieces of fabric but the stiching I did on the fabric (can't really see on this photo) is very detailed and turned out very beautiful.

I'm thinking to sell this one at about $600.

I'm quite sure it is worth it.
