Background

15/09/2009 - I took a workshop with Ineke Berlyn and she encouraged the group to make pieced landscape quilts based on the paintings of a modern Dutch artist. I didn’t use her patterns, but copied one of the paintings by eye and this is the result. I used lots of beads to create the poppy field, the sun, and the leaves on the trees. I gave it to my daughter Emily to hang on her wall at Cambridge University. The wall hanging measures: 72 cm wide x 57 cm/28 1/2 x 22 1/2inches.
