Pecos Bill-

This is a quick photo of the quilt I made about the American Tall Tale, Pecos Bill. The background is pieced and the images are appliqu'ed. I machine quilted it on my home machine and added Shiva oil sticks for accents as well as some beads, buttons and glitter paint.I wanted the borders to reflect a folk-like style of quilting. Making do with what you have at hand, so more colorful, mixed up colors and patterns and a kind of carelessness in the design.
This quilt shows Pecos Bill riding a twister with ease after he roped it with a rattlesnake. Of course, the only way the twister could escape was to rain itself out from underneath him, thus creating the Grand Canyon.
