Customer Gems - Patricia Caldwell

To The Beach by Patricia Caldwell, 28 x 31

This week's inspiration is another inspiring art quilt from Patricia Caldwell. The coastal influence of her new home in Oregon is really showing through. She use the Waves gradient as the jumping off point for her trademark stitching and embellishment.

In this close up photo you can see some the the wonderful details that she's added to the quilt that include fibers, dyed yarns, Larimar and Chrysocolla crystal beads. She's also included driftwood pieces and polished jasper and small pieces of agate found on the beaches at the Oregon coast.

For sharing, Patricia received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months! If you have made anything with my hand dyed fabric I hope you will consider sharing it in the Customer Gallery.  The only rule is that projects have to be complete. It doesn't have to be made totally from hand dyed fabric, just include a recognizable amount.
