I purchased this small quilt from Charlotte when she had a quilt showing and sale at VAM in 2012. This is the best I could do for the color, the background is more grey than this, but it looks great either way. Lichens are all around us, but because they are small we don't notice them. My house has a stone fireplace and there are lichen still growing on the stones. When the humidity gets a little high for a length of time the lichens expand - my own little lichen garden indoors.
"Lichen 2" Charlotte Bird - San Diego, CA. 2012 15" square.
Cotton fabric & batting. Fused, machine appliqued, machine quilted. Hand embroidered.
Hand embroidered French knots scattered in a ring.
A nice deep sleeve set back from the edges so the ends of the slat will not be seen.
Nice computer generated label includes a website contact for the artist

I love the colors and shapes and of course the textures depicted on the fabrics....fun machine quilting too. All in all a truly lovely quilt and one that must have been more than fun to design and execute. A very nice addition to your collection.
