My art quilt group visited White Sands National Park in February of 2010. We made quilts reflecting that visit. "Yucca" is based on a photo I took there and I had fun interpreting it in black and white.
I started with a white piece of cloth and did a triple overdye to create this whole cloth piece that reflects the desert coming to life after the monsoon rains. It is heavily machine-quilted in different threads and motifs and then hand beaded to represent the blooming flowers.
