Remember

My favorite online quilting group had a challenge which we had to make something that represented a word - Remember.

We were given the project in March and I thought it would be perfect to do something that related to ANZACs and the lovely Flander's Field Poppy. While I rummaged on the 'net I found a lovely painting by Georgia O'Keeffe that was perfect.

I appliqued my poppy onto some scrap fabric and then machine embroidered the flower and stem in all the lovely shades of red and orange so evocative of the Remberance Poppy.

I cut it out carefully and then stitched it to a neutral background that I had added a small border in burnt orange. The quilting on it represents the wind blowing across the fields of Flanders. I wrote the word "Remember' across the bottom.

The whole quilt is just A4 sized.
