Moon River

"Moon River"

Artist: Suzanne Uschold

Fabric Collage Art Quilt

16.25" x 9.5"

This was inspired by a photo in the public domain which I was drawn to because it reminded me of something one might see along the Washington Coast. The waves were created using cheesecloth.

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.
