This is the largest textile art quilt that I have ever worked on. I wish I had calculated how many hours it took me custom quilt it. I did the background separate from the heron and the rocks. Excluding the background, there are over 173,000 stitches and I used 34 colours to complete it.

Update: I am so proud to say that it won an award for Excellence in Threadwork at the 2026 Canadian Quilters Association National Juried Show and was Judge’s Choice at the 2026 Houston International Quilt Festival
