Octopus' Garden
42”H x 36”W
Machine pieced, hand and machine quilted. Machine appliqué. Machine embroidery and machine embroidered appliquéd motifs. I wanted to explore the wonders of a coral reef in this piece and pulled out all the stops with the details. Metallic Kreinik machine threads add sparkle and texture. My favorite passages are the suckers on the octopus and the circular quilting in the large corals, but I had fun creating the whole piece. The tentacles on the octopus break the picture plane.
