Bag No.57 - Raven

The Raven quilt was made in spring 2020 as a combination of machine and hand sewing on natural linen. The tree is made in reverse appliqué with machine quilted raw edges, the raven himself is a nice picture from a commercial cloth. I used fusible appliqué and the bird is machine and hand quilted. The quilt was originally a part of a series of small quilts with bird motifs to be exhibited on Prague Patchwork Meeting 2020. But covid pandemic changed everything and the raven and the other birds had to wait till April 2022, when they were finally shown in my small gallery on PPM Quilt Show Brno 2022. 

 
With my dear friend Hella in Brno, 2022

From all the bird creations I liked the raven the most. Therefore I decided to let him fly with me every day. He became a really nice big bag for my everyday use.


 


Happy stitching!
