Leaves
Original design by Margo Fiddes (2003)
30" X 46"
(artist's collection)
This piece was a further exploration of Ruth McDowell’s piecing methods. I chose a simple subject and isolated it, wanting to focus on the branch’s integral beauty. By making the leaves appear ‘larger than life’ I was able to highlight the many colour variations in this single branch of leaves.
Techniques: Machine pieced, machine quilted
Materials: Cotton fabrics, cotton and rayon threads
