I've wanted to paint a quilt for a long time now so while I was visiting my niece, I asked her which was her favorite quilt that she had made. She chose the one that she made for her husband upon his retirement from the army. I photographed the quilt on a black rocking chair and then ad libbed the background to resemble one her favorite lakes where she'd like to own a cabin someday.
I had thought it would be a great Christmas gift but she took ill so I sent it right away as a get well gift. I think she will be hanging it in her sewing room where she keeps her quilting machine.

What an absolute treasure! This will certainly be treasured by her and become a family heirloom. Your talent truly amazes me and I'm not just saying that. When you said your niece had been ill I wondered if it was the one who quilted your blue and yellow quilt that I loved (see I do remember things!). I hope that she's on the mend now and doing well. Now she has a tangible reminder of how much she's loved by her special aunt. The coloring and shading is beautiful and you know what a weak spot I have for the beach and the ocean and the lake could well be an ocean in my eyes! Perfect and so tranquil to look at.
You are simply amazing, my friend! This is now my all time favorite of your portfolio. ☺♥☺
