"Sap Buckets" Ruth B. McDowell 2011 54"W X 49"L
Commercial cotton fabrics, hand dyes, cotton batting and thread. Machine pieced and quilted.
This depicts the old traditional method of tapping maple trees for sap to make maple syrup. Lovely blue shadows against the snow and interesting prints to compose the tree bark.
It makes me feel cold to look at it!

This is a special quilt for me. The last time you posted it I noted that the top border suggests the images of the trees but the color and texture is muted. Very, very clever and imaginative of our favorite quilter. Thank you for re-posting.
