This is a quilt that I have worked on all week. It was a comissioned quilt. The people who asked me to make it intend to hand it over a murphy bed in their house. They had some photos of this mountain range that they wanted me to try and copy but they were summer photos with gray and green colours and a very cloudy sky. They asked if I could give the picture a facelift by making a sunset sky, fall colours, and putting some bunches of fireweed in the forground. This valley at Tombstone national Park in Yukon, Canada is actually famous for it absolutely stunningly beautiful patches of yellows and reds that miander up the valley toward the famous Tombstone mountain peek. It has the look of a paradise and is definately a photographer's heaven.
I hope I was able to capture some of that fall beauty in this quilt.
The quilt is 5 feet by 3 feet and sold for $700 although it was probably worth more. The details in the quilting are incredible and give the landscape an awesome texture. It is unfortunate that it can't be seen on the photo.
However, enjoy the colours and the picture.
