Lake Las Vegas South Shore Golf Course view and quilt

Quilt is 34” X 40”

       The Lake Las Vegas South Shore Golf Course’s 18th tee has a view loved by all who see it, including the artist who couldn't help but make it into a quilt!  A new group of buildings have been constructed since the picture below was taken and can be included in the quilt at your request.  The quilt is $500.  Each quilt will be made individually, so no two will be exactly alike. For example, some fabrics may change if the artist finds some she likes better over time; the placement of the plants and rocks will differ slightly on each quilt; and the fabric and quilting on the mountains in particular will vary because the fabric is hand-dyed and no two pieces are ever alike. But the differences will be minimal – each quilt will look very much like the one pictured below.

The artist’s comments on this quilt

       This is a stunning view, so I did very little to alter it. The photo was taken late in the day so shadows dominate, but I really liked the sun-dappled look of the green fabric so I made the quilt without the shadows. Of course the plants and rocks of the desert hilltops are not exact, they’re placed to give the feeling of the photograph without being literal. I left the boat out because I liked the look of the lake better without it. Naturally, all of the construction happening in the picture was ignored in the quilt. Believe it or not, there are nearly 80 palm trees in this quilt – all free form machine-embroidered, one at a time!
