Another family photo has become a quilt. This image of my husband’s grandparents was taken sometime around 1915, probably at Stone Mountain, GA. The occasion was a Sunday School picnic.
I printed the image on a bit of vintage linen napkin, painted his tie, and machine stitched using free-motion quilting. The rickrack frame is hand stitched around the photo on a layer of hand-dyed cotton fabric.
I used metallic thread to stitch the red layer to a vintage quilt remnant using a seed stitch, adding a bit of sparkle.
The label is a vintage coaster stitched to the old quilt remnant, too. The final piece measures 12″ x 14″.
