Carolina Lily Dressed to the Nines

I am JeanAnn Fenrich, retired and enjoying working with fabric and fiber in Maple Grove, MN. 

My piece is 18" x 18". 

Title: “Carolina Lily Dressed to the Nines"

Walking this week’s red carpet, I dressed my Carolina Lily in an elegant line of fabrics - Shimmer by Jennifer Sampou. IMG_1257With help of extra padding and Trapunto quilting  this lily shows off all her features from the tips of her petals down her long stems. She is accessorized with a shimmering (tone-on-tone) thread quilting all over to make sure she stays in the foreground.

Finally, Carolina Lily is framed in her two favorite colors to sit elegantly on my dining room table. With luck this table topper will shortly be joined by a finished quilt (from which I borrowed the fabric).

    Ooh. I love the way you've introduced the fabric as in a runway. I've never seen the show, but I felt it through your description. I am loving the shimmery fabrics and machine embroidery. Thank you for sharing.
