Chantilly Lace

Chantilly Lace was created for the SAQA booth at Houston International Quilt Festival. It is the 7th piece in the Emerald Treasures Series and measures 9X12. In the past, I have carried the sea plant patterns onto the background through stitch, however, I felt that a little geometric pattern would provide interest and a nice change in texture. This is the first piece I have made in a while, following my sister’s death. I am finding it hard to focus and am hoping that with time, the muse will return. Funny how grief can affect your creativity. Interesting observation….
