Laying Under the Maple Tree by Jana C

Remember your childhood years, playing outside on a hot day. Looking for the shade of the big maple tree, you lay down on the cool green grass under the umbrella of leaves. Spending time in amazement at the perspective of the tree, you realize, life was good.

This quilt is 20” x 20”. I started by drawing the big leaf and transferring it to interfacing. I cut up a variety of yellows, placing them inside the leaf. After ironing the scraps on, I sprayed a thin layer of glue, covered the leaf with a fine yellow tulle and sewed it on around the edges. The wool tree and branches were machine sewn.

I worked on this during two snow storms in North Branch, Minnesota.
