The Essence of Petra

Who would have thought that nearly two years on I would still be so drawn to the Petra images and colours?
I have now finished "The Essence of Petra", a wide and shallow piece for a change which has been heavily quilted and with some beads. I love the colours but accept that it may not be everyone's "cup of tea". It is destined for the Contemporary section at Festival of Quilts.

I have enjoyed the close quilting and the use of block printing this time.

Now its back to the machine to get on with quilting the second that I had hoped to take to Festival of Quilts!
