"Sentinel" - $175

"Sentinel" is being delivered today in preparation for an Asheville

 Gallery show for the months of April & May. 

"Sentinel" began on January 1, 2017 as I participated 

in the #ayearinstitches Challenge (hand embroidery stitching each day)

along with others around the globe. 

All hand embroidered in various purple thread on a 

hand dyed yellow and purple fabric.

A snap is part of Sentinel's eye as it keeps careful watch.

Machine quilted in white thread. Designs of pebbles, swirls, spiral circles 

and spiral squares. 

Machine signed by artist.
