Here is another of the quilts I purchased from the SAQA online auction in October. This quilt is so different from anything else I have seen lately that I felt it need to be in the Collection.
"Fantastical Garden" Gillian Moss - La Jolla, CA 2012 12" x 12"
Screen printing, hand embroidered, hand quilted.
Gillian says this piece started out as a pure experiment as she was thinking of doing something for the SAQA online auction. She worked on it in the evening while her husband watched TV and it became a special quilt with the colors and the thoughts that accompanied her stitching.

Many different colors of thread used and a signature done with fabric marker.
The screened background in green and blue allows areas for the flowers to bloom.
Straight stitches, cross stitches, back stitches, stem stitches, running stitches, fly stitches, single chain stitches - done in perle cotton and sewing cotton threads.
Gillian does very even, elegant stitching.
And she is not afraid to show the back of her work - hurrah, Gillian.
On her label she uses a hand cut stamp of a house resembling her home in Dublin, Ireland and hand prints the information needed - including her website URL. A way for people interested in her work to contact her. www.mossartquilts.com

What a charming piece!
This is lovely. The front, the back, the whole thing. Love hand work!
Outstanding choice. This is another one from the auction that I lusted after. Good to know it has a good home. It is certainly unique.
