Unsurprisingly, it's a digital collage printed on fabric. I believe I printed it in the spring of 2011. It took me a while to decide on how to quilt it, plus other deadlines loomed, so it patiently waited for my attention. All of the imagery except for perhaps one bird is from photos taken in my yard.
The quilting was done using mostly Aurifil cotton threads, with a little bit of rayon and silk thrown in. Much of the background quilting is overlapping to echo the transparency of the various background elements. The locust leaves and maple branches/buds were outlined, and then additional quilting was added on top. I originally planned to quilt the birds quite ornately, but thought better of it and went with a simpler approach. It was fun to use so many of my favorite colors (blues and greens) and quilting motifs (leaves and ferns).
P.S. Don't forget the Blog Hop going on until January 28! Both Candy and Sarah are accepting entries now.

Your work really speaks to me as no other digital quilting work has. think I need to purchase a DVD!! Do you teach locally. I do consider myself local as I live in Stafford VA, just above Fredericksburg on the I95 corridor.
