Santa’s Night-time Trek is part of the series “Winter Holidays”. In each piece the same holiday ornament shape was used…I experimented with different ways that the same shape might be used to create a scene. Can’t you just imagine the wind blowing around Santa’s sleigh as it soars through the sky!? 🙂
In this Art Quilt, the shape is layered and appliqued to the background. Threadpainting and straight-stitch quilting lines were then added to finish raw edges and suggest the movement of Santa soaring up through-out the night sky on his Christmas Eve journey around the world!
A hanging sleeve is added to the back for displaying. As a Free Bonus gift, a small slat with two holes is included (Can be hung with 2 pins or small nails~not included).
This December I’m offering the art quilts in the series, Winter Holidays, at a special price! Consider one of these unique pieces of art to decorate your home or as a gift for an Art Lover on your list! 🙂
