This is called Nouveau Muses. I had to get help spelling "nouveau" because it seems my brain is not as sharp as it was 30 years ago.
These lady panels are drop-dead-gorgeous. If you've been hearing about the new digital prints, this is an excellent example.
They were paired with some beautiful William Morris prints for the borders & sashings & panel insets above and below the ladies.
I did some pretty quilting in the piecing, but in the panels I just did outline quilting along the printed lines.
This used wool batting which added a perfect 3-D effect to the women.
These bottom pieces were quilted with the identical motifs as the upper windows.
Last night I got home from Margarets where I spent a few days with quilting buddies at the Buckhorn Quilt Show. The quilt I am taking a lesson from is this one... I love, love, love the motifs stitched in the blocks! Embroidery is a skill I use very little of these days, and this example has been done with thread painting. By machine.
Here's the artist statement with a story about the quilt.
ZUCCHINI REPORT
Picked this week: 5
Picked YTD: 121
Gave away: 3
I left on Thursday morning for Margaret's, and got home after dark Saturday night. DH would never in a million years go out and pick zucchini, so I have a BIG SURPRISE waiting out in the garden for me today. They could be all ruined by some stupid animal/bug/disease, or perhaps I'll find 10 cricket-bat-sized fruits lurking under the leaves. We'll see, after I get dressed. Pray for me. 🙏
