Flower Garden: Quilted Art Wall Hanging and 10 similar items

Flower Garden developed from a challenge with had the theme "Word Play", and I chose words that relate to my love of gardening and my stash of leafy and flowering fabrics. I'm generally a vegetable gardener, but that was simply too many letters! I liked that "flower" had the same number of letters as "garden" so that each flower letter could grow out of a garden letter. I pulled out various of my appropriately floral and leafy fabrics for the letters and put them against a couple brown earthy fabrics. Size: 13" x 20" My artwork is mounted on foam core, which creates a light-weight but rigid piece with a wire for hanging and a felt backing. In this case, I used pebble beads to avoid the dimples that otherwise form in the fabric, and regular beads in the upper part. It is treated with a sun-block spray, although prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may eventually cause fading.
