Woodpecker Snag My art quilts express my wonder at the beauty and tenacity of nature. Fabric and thread capture colors and textures, lights and shadows, emotions of joy and sorrow. The common thread through all my pieces is the delicate balance between humankind and nature, and the sense of spiritual renewal that oneness brings. This quilt is about how even decaying and dying trees and plants are essential parts of the life cycle of animals and birds. Woodpeckers and other birds and animals, often rely on dead and dying trees as a source of insects for food and cavities for shelter. I used rust dyed fabric and bark printed fabric for the tree, adding free motion stitching. The woodpecker is based on photos I’ve taken around our feeders and trees. He is appliqued on the tree. The bird is free-motion embroidered, with some of his wing feathers stitched onto him.
