"Kings Yard Farmers Market," 18.5" x 28", made by Pam Geisel, July 2013
We are
fortunate to have three Farmers Markets in Yellow Springs, two on Saturday
morning and one on Thursday afternoon. I knew I wanted to make a quilt of the
market, but wasn’t sure how I’d make it into a vertical format like the other
quilts in this series.
I went to
the market and took lots of photos and decided that the focus should be inside
one of the canopies with the other canopies in the background.
Reference photo
I cropped
the photo, changed the lettuce to a photo of apples and pumpkins that I had
taken last fall, changed the honey to a collection of different color tomatoes
(also taken last fall), added a canopy, and changed the trucks in the
background to crates of produce.

Farmers Market" detail
This is all
machine raw edge appliqué so there were a lot of raw edges to be quilted down,
including all the tomatoes.
The fabric I used for the barrels holding the apples is the same fabric I used for the center of the sunflowers in "Sunflowers at Whitehall Farm" and in the center of the flowers on "Picnic at Ellis Pond."
