Falling Leaves

"Falling Leaves" Artist: Suzanne Uschold Fabric Collage Art Quilt 11.5" x 8" Although this was inspired by a photo by Susie Bell of a sunrise in Arizona, it is reminiscent of similar scenes in the pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest offers endless inspiration for my art with its majestic mountains, towering evergreens, crashing waves, roaring rivers and beautiful wildlife. My husband and I enjoy capturing this beauty with our cameras as we walk around our local parks and gardens or go on scenic drives. I love the challenge of turning a photo into a quilt using a variety of techniques including collage, applique, thread painting and free motion quilting. While some art quilters embellish their work with paint, I prefer to “paint” my quilts, using only fabric and thread, and the occasional addition of lace, cheesecloth or even cotton balls.
