Through The Abbey Window

Here is my latest art quilt for a group challenge.  It has been designed from three photos taken at places we visited on our recent holiday.  

 

I loved the brickwork on the sides of the one on the left which I reproduced with the aid of fusible web and nice sharp scissors!

The garden outside the window is from a photo printed onto silk and then hand embroidered.

I used a grey Markal paint stick to create the shadows above and around the window and on the sill.

The lead on the window is machine embroidered and the jug and glasses, taken from the window on the right are made from two layers of gold organza appliquéd in place with wadding behind to give depth.
