Cloud Composition

Stephanie @spontaneousthreads got to choose our Bee Sewcial @beesewcial prompt this month, and she chose Clouds. Actually, compositions that include clouds. We were asked to choose one of four photos that Stephanie took that included clouds. I chose one of the front range of the Rocky Mountains at sunset.

From our chosen photo, we were to select a vertical strip, top to bottom, to be the inspiration for our pieced strip, approximately 8" x 40".

A bit of a challenge, right? I kept my photo close by as I began to compose my composition in fabric.

Honestly, it took me bits of time over several days to complete my entire strip. It was hard to keep everything totally 'straight,' and my strip finally felt done at 9"-13" wide and roughly 48" long.

Of course, I told Stephanie I'd be happy to shorten it, but as I expected, she asked me not to. I have no doubt she'll work her magic once she has all our strips. I know she will.
