Strata No. 1...

The past two years I have donated a piece of "art" to the music department at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK. Below is the wall quilt I stitched this past week for tomorrow's silent auction. The monies from the auction will go to benefit the music department where our friend's son is an adjunct instructor. 

It was fun trying out some of the new techniques and ideas I picked up at the recent retreat and then even more fun adding some embellishments to this small quilt (approx. 12" x 17"). I have named it Strata No. 1 with plans to continue this series of multiple landscape themes.
Here are close ups of the fabric and beading.
Thanks for stopping by and hope your coming week is good.
