On the Road to Port Edwards. . . A Memory of Terry Lichtenfelt
I first got to really know Terry when she rode with Madge Klais, Marilee Wertlake and I to the August 2017 Memory Cloth Circle show in Fort Edwards, WI. We actually did get to a place where the only man-made things in sight were the road and our car. Everything else was pine trees. No wonder she couldn't figure out her GPS!
The base of this piece are quilting cottons with a road of knit poly-cotton. The appliques are mixed poly and cotton fabrics (the trees are recycled pant hem trimmings). Since I don’t remember what Madge’s car looked like, I used the rear of a neighbor’s Mini Cooper as a model. The piece is embroidered with cotton floss, 12 wt Sulky cotton petites, and metallic thread.
