Textile Postcard Project Week #51

September 16th - 22nd 2018

'Green River Patterns' A whole quilt view



This postcard is very attractive but unfortunately the photograph does not show the sophistication of the colours.
It was part of a small quilt made for inclusion in the ZigZag Tripartite Exhibition in 2005. The inspiration came from the aerial sight of the northern rivers flowing after rains. The land along the rivers is, of course, green. Hence, the name 'Green River Patterns'
The detailed view shows the Twin Needle stitching. The cording, which was twisted by hand from various threads, is couched, by machine, onto the background vivid green fabric.
