Here are two pieces from Virginia Spiegel, part of her Boundary Waters series. I purchased both of them in 2007 - two because I couldn't decide which one I liked the best! The following URL will take you to a page where Virginia explains the lure of the Boundary Waters Wilderness located on the border of Minnesota and Canada.
Hand printed and hand dyed fabric. Machine applique and quilting. Hand stitched accent.
I find this piece difficult to photograph because of the light colored mesh layer between the background and the appliqued "grasses". Therefore, I have used photos of the fronts of the works provided by Virginia.
As many artists do these days, Virginia has used hand painted "rejects" on the back of the quilt.

Virginia is an amazing person and gifted artist who I have admired and watched for years. I gladly supported her FFAC project to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
