This is my interpretation of this month’s quiltie theme on Unlimited Textiles - Nature. I took a rubbing of some bark with a crayon on white cotton which I then coloured with blue/green inks – the scan is not showing the colours too clearly. I then hand-stitched a small amount, not wishing to detract from the natural pattern of the bark.

It’s just arrived and I think it is even more beautiful in real life.
The pattern is gorgeous and the stitching just right.
Thank you Jill.
