This is the full image of The Moon Quilt which I made for my friend Thelma Smith www.thelmasmith.com/blog/ during my chemo year. the first year I was in Virginia. She had seen images of Na Keola o' Malama which I had made for my surgeon in Hawaii and wanted a smaller above-the-headboard size quilt for her bedroom -- something serene and uplifting she said. She dyed the background hemp/silk fabric herself since she was looking for a very specific blueish purple. I dyed the midnight green foreground fabric for the branches myself just before I left Arizona and did the applique very quickly once I got moved in. But the quilting took longer.
