For the third part of the series I continue with my readings about French cuisine. This time it is “A Pig in Provence” by Georgeanne Brennan, another American author writing about food and culture in the South part of France. I read this book many years ago but the image of a pig and Rosemary stayed with me for today.

I’m really surprised that French cuisine has inspired so many books, especially by Anglo-Saxon authors!
This quilt is a perfect addition to your series and I love the touch of humor it represents.
Having just returned from walking through masses of wild rosemary I really admire the way that you have stitched it! Great fabric choice and I love the fun-loving pig!
I see that you stay devoted not only to the topic of food, but also to your fabric choices, 3D details, hand embroidery. Lovely piece, congratulations!
I love your choice of textiles for the background, evoking feelings of being ion the kitchen with the author. The embroidery is nicley done.
I love your quilt. So fun! I like the way you use the kitchen towel fabric and your details with the embroidery quite fantastic. Bravo!
I love the fabrics you have used, which seem to take me straight into the kitchen. The detail in the pig and the rosemary is beautiful and the stitching is perfect. A lovely piece
Love the 3D appliqués, meticulous hand embroidery and how your stitched words frames the quilt. Such a fun composition and interpretation of the book, I can almost smell the thyme! Well done.
I can smell that rosemary too! Beautiful lifelike hand embroidery! This piece fits right into your series, with the folded napkin, the text and that bit of humor. Well done!
This piece is a great addition to your series. Nice ow the same fabrics and composition show up.
You can smell the rosemary and imagine it cooking with the pork. Pleasant colors, matching background.
Great choice of fabric for the background and a lovely looking pig. I really like the stitching of the rosemary and the words.
What fun, like your choice of fabric.
A cohesive addition to your series. It’s nice to take back the kitchen fabrics and the text that almost frames the subject.
Fun piece. I love the folded kitchen towel. The embroidery of the rosemary is stunning. Well done.
