Robber’s Roost

Robber's Roost features ten crows that were thread painted and each feather was cut out, highlighted, and stitched. Three of the crows are holding found objects which can be seen by looking closely at the quilt. The background is a purchased fabric to which the outer circle has been over painted. The silk and cotton oak leaves were cut out of Joanne's ice dyed fabrics. The texture on the bark of the tree was created with Texture Magic and heat distressed paints.
