Spirit Dweller II

This is #6 in a series of original portrait quilts of women. It features a Native American woman with long hair and cliff dwellings hidden inside. All cotton fabrics from various sources, including MSQC. Raw edge applique. Size of this top is 45" x 51". I have used Inktense pencils to accentuate the buildings and for shading. Embroidery floss used for tiny ladders. Based loosely on Bandelier National Monument. Side panels depict Indian rugs, corners are "Oho de dios" or God's Eye blocks. Pineapple blocks on border.
