Places: Bench by the Lake by Yvonne Carlson

19" x 13"   $425

Our cabin at the lake is special family place. The old bench is a conversation spot whether watching the lake or having a bonfire or morning coffee. A mix of trees needed multiple techniques; appliqué and trapunto for dimension, freestanding threadwork for evergreens. The bench was a challenge, I‘m pleased with the result.

Techniques: Hand painted cotton and silk, appliqué, trapunto, beading, free standing thread work, free motion and straight line quilting.
