Today I received an email from Nicole at Follow the White Bunny, who wrote to tell me she was featuring my Water Drop quilt on the hand embroidery blog, Feeling Stitchy. I was very excited, and thought I should get busy and post a new photo of the top, since I have completed 8 more organisms since the photo she included.
A few readers asked me about the background fabric, and I did manage to locate a scrap of selvage which reads “11216 DAIWABO Selection for E.E. Schenck Company.” Also, this time I have included some close-up photos, and I hope they look all right since it’s dark and stormy here today.
This just made my day!
Congratulations on having this quilt featured.
This is one of the most interesting and unique quilts I’ve ever seen! I love it.
Ms. Martha, this is the most amazing quilt! I love the progress updates, the colors, and how PERFECTLY you’ve rendered that image into a quilt!!! You’re awesome!
I absolutely love this!! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
I love the original image, and you’ve made it even more beautiful by rendering it in fabric and thread. All of Charley Harper’s biology illustrations are incredible; thank you for helping me discover a new artist.
Congrats on the feature, Martha! It is a breathtaking quilt!
I’m a microbiologist at MIT so I REALLY love and appreciate this! Can’t wait to see it finished.
Hi there and Happy Easter!
I really love your applique Charley Harper illustration, it really deserves to be featured on Feeling Stitchy! You’re doing such a lovely job of it, I really look forward to seeing the finished work! Isn’t Charley Harper’s illustration just beautiful? Really suited to recreating in textile form.
Kind regards
Joey
