Pattern: Original photograph of the lake behind our house.
Medium: Cotton fabric.
Technique: Hand and machine pieced, hand embroidered, and machine quilted.

My husband and his sister walked down to the lake behind our house. They stood on the dock and looked out over the gorgeous view. There was a ripple below and they looked down to see a huge water moccasin gliding beneath them. I am sure neither of them have come home so quickly before!

This piece was begun at a workshop given by Ruth McDowell at the Museum of American Quilters Society in Paducah, Kentucky. It was pieced using the techniques for which she is well known.

The red cardinal sitting on one of the poles is hand embroidered.

Techniques used in this piece:

• hand and machine pieced;
• hand embroidered;
• machine quilted.

Exhibited at:

• Gallery of Contemporary Art, University of Colorado, 1420 Austin Bluffs Parkway, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80933-7150. 'On the Wall' SAQA Group Exhibition. January 13 - March 17, 2006.
