Tree patterns

Kimberly Mystique, quilt by Gloria Loughman

I was so excited by these tree trunk patterns! What a unique way to show them! Now if i can just figure out a way to do this in silk!

Gloria Loughman is a teacher, quilter, and artist working in Australia.  I've been studying her book, Luminous Landscapes, Quilted Visons in Paint and Thread.

This piece is particularly stunning! Maybe I should take up quilting?

Grow, watercolor by Barbara of Embrace
Tiger, Return to Mountain

Did Barbara see this image in a book or on line? Is that what inspired her lovely watercolor/ink drawing? Barbara's piece certainly inspires me!
