Artist: Moira McSpadden, Fort Wayne, IN

Inspiration for this quilt comes from a well-loved pair of Bible verses about trees planted by water. For me, as a Christian, planting myself like a Tree by the water (the presence of God) is where I draw life from. This quilt shows a forest of trees planted by and reflected in a lake. My inspiration letter is at the top of the scene along with a cross-stitch piece featuring the verses from Jeremiah 17:7-8.

The quilt is made out of cotton fabrics, shiny tulle, cotton threads for applique and cross-stitch, and linen fabric for the cross-stitched verses.

Techniques include fusible applique, quilting as you go, raw edge applique, free-form design, and cross-stitch. All techniques except the fusible applique and cross-stitch are new to me.
