My second series of the nature is about woodgrain of the two kinds of trees that I chose to examine: aspen tree and white birch tree. Here I present a transversal cut of wood that exposes the grain of white birch tree.
I used a photo that I found on the internet to get an idea for my quilt. I used rust dyed cotton fabric and densely stitched it by hand with various cotton yarns. The background is machine quilted.

This works so well. The way that you have used the different stitching and thread colour is so effective, brilliant!
Wonderful interpretation, the use of colours brings out the subtle grain and nature of the tree.
The choice of colors and embroidery stitches gives a perfect representation of the tree trunk. The contrast between the machine quilting of the background and the hand embroidery creates an effective 3d effect.
I really like your work and admire the hand stitching.A combination of different types of stitching and an excellent color combination. The background also makes the piece stand out.
With the rust dyed fabric and your dense and meticulous hand stitching, you have captured the grain structure and texture of the white birch tree. I like how the machine quilting is like a continuation of invisible tree rings. Well done!
Such a lot of hand stitching that gives the rust dyed fabric a wonderful texture that completely captures the grain of the wood perfectly. Well done
