The Twelve X Twelve theme selected by Francoise was Blue/White and a Bit of Black. I just had to dip into my indigo scraps and do up one of my indigo moon landscapes. I used lots of scraps which I fused together with raw and frayed edges showing. Here are some detail shots.
I used a piece of silk with shadowy indigo coloration for the snow. I cut strips of silk indigo shibori for the shadows of the fence posts.
This piece looked very different at one point. I had quilted it and thought it was done. It wasn’t.
This photo was taken before I screwed up the fence with some terrible quilting. It was an ok piece before then, but after the quilting it was a dog. I went at it with sharp implements and pulled off the fence.
I then added the printed indigo fabrics which were given to me by Kristin and made the fence look more like a fence. I couldn’t remove the shadows so I ended up making a wonky split rail fence that works much better.
If you haven’t done so yet, go over to Twelve X Twelve to see the other great pieces.
Gerrie, this is beautiful. You all did a great job on this challenge, but my favorite art and poetry has big full moons in it. Inspired!
This is so lovely and peaceful. It’s one of my favorites of your pieces.

Nice job, just the other night I look out my window and saw a similar scene.

It’s lovely and really reminds me of the moon on snow, a favorite memory of a family trip to Co. some years ago.
I actually think both of these are wonderful – just different from one another. I don’t buy that your quilting made that original version into a dog. If that is the case, I should never quilt again because judging by that, every piece I make is a dog!
Gerrie – your work is terrific.
Very lovely. I knew yours and Terry’s on the 12×12 blog before I read the names.
It’s wonderful!
This is beautiful!
It’s beautiful!
It is so lovely and it does look just like it did outside my window last night With all the snow and the atmospheric blue foggy light. You’ve really captured the feeling. I put a link on my blog to the group.
Nice, Moody.
Once again, a truly lovely piece. You have perfectly captured the atmosphere of a moonlit scene at night. Jen
I LOVE IT! This is exactly how it looked last night with the full moon!!
FABULOUS Gerrie!!!
