This is a quilt made for a nursery with a jungle theme. I immediately pictured in my mind a moon looking lovingly down upon the wild creatures who have been so noisy and, well, wild all through the day. The moon is thinking, "What angels they are!" This is how I look at my children when I put them to bed and as much noise and arguing there has been throughout the day, I believe that they are angels...when they are sleeping.
The Southern Cross centers above the scene as a quiet macaw perches in the upper branches. In the distance to the left, is an elephant and reposed on his back in the center of the tree is a monkey, who won't fall because he's got the upper bough with his tail. Immediately to the right is a large coiled snake sleeping just outside of his little cave. Beside the river is the king of the jungle, quite satisfied for reasons I am sure are less than angelic. Even the piranha seems harmless!
This quilt is entirely hand-stitched in my own design. It has taken me 9 months to complete.
This is basically a 9 panel design. An art applique quilt this size, about 40" square will be about $360.

HEIRLOOM QUILT
I am pleased to announce a collaboration with artist Amy Barranco on the following HEIRLOOM QUILTS. Amy's vision of simplicity and comfort has meshed nicely with my effort to stay focused on practical products. Her work not only has a clean vintage feel which brings us back to our most pleasant childhood memories, but also preserves the best of the current generation.
Amy's work is the central focus, my job is to put it into a usable form.
Please place your order well in advance of your required deadline. We will need at least a month to complete as Amy and I are on opposite ends of the United States.
