Dreaming of Living Life Free as a Bird, 28 x 52 inches, by O.V. Brantley, 2012. For sale at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ovbrantleyquilts
Dreaming of Living Life Free as a Bird is a quilted wallhanging that was adapted from a print that has hung in my kitchen for many years. After going back to work temporarily, I gained a new appreciation for my retired lifestyle.
This quilt is an original one-of-a-kind. It is quilted by hand and embellished with yo-yo’s, buttons, green variegated thread and a crystal in the bird’s eye. The dominant colors are brown and red. The back of the quilt is a library fabric which adds to the theme of living free. The words “Free as a Bird” are embroidered on the front of the quilt.
There is a hanging sleeve on the back for easy display, and a label that documents the quilt. It measures 28 x 52 inches and is listed for sale in my Etsy studio store.
