Inspired by the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley and 19th-century American folk art, this unforgettable project is a must-have for anyone who loves upstate charm. The translucent watercolor landscape is printed on silky cotton sateen, blending golden ochre and cool misty greens to evoke a dewy summer morning.
This exceptional piece features dozens of embroidered illustrations depicting local landmarks, including the Round Stone Barn of Hancock Village in the Berkshires and the sculptures of Storm King. It also showcases portraits of all five bridges crossing the Hudson above Bear Mountain and even includes the Appalachian Trail as a special quilted path. Farmhouses and barns nestle alongside prancing sheep and grazing cattle, while forests and fields blend seamlessly along gentle rivers and hilly paths.
This project captures the essence of the Hudson River Valley, making it a perfect addition to your collection or a cherished gift for anyone who appreciates the beauty of the great outdoors. Further west? Check out our other Upstate New York project, the Catskills Quilt.
