Check out this great item that I found online.
Artist: Pam Neil - Louisville, Kentucky USA
Materials and Techniques: Cotton fabrics from the VFW collection Mostly Manor. King Tut variegated cotton thread used for machine quilting (Superior Threads). VFW's DWR template for the background/center and her full melon template for the "seed" shaped pieces. Curved machine piecing, appliqued corners, hand sewn beads and vintage jewelry, hand embroidery, machine quilting to create the rows where seeds are planted.
Artist's Statement: This simple quilt is dedicated to all those teachers who plant seeds of encouragement to try new Techniques:. One favorite teacher in particular was inspiration for this quilt since I will be taking a DWR class with her in the Fall and wanted to give it a try before I showed up for class. Can you guess the name of this favorite teacher? She encourages us all to begin with 15 minutes of play!
