Ella, as it turns out.
When I conceived this piece, my intent was to have foliage against this African evening sky, but after I'd fused down my tree and imagined the upcoming grasses and what not - I realized, that I couldn't resist adding something more friendly.
All of sudden, this little piece is about Ella - my little elephant who shows up from time to time. I imagine that it's bedtime for little elephants - and Ella's mommy is just outside of frame, coming with some nice grasses for Ella to eat.
So here is the tree, just lightly outline quilted - but I wanted to bring the background forward more, so...
I needed to quilt it more heavily.
Finished piece on Wednesday. See you then?
