A Wonderful World

Mary Beth Michaels

Indigo dyed background fabric, hand applique, embroidery and hand quilted wall hanging.

Mary Beth created this piece based on Louis Armstrong’s performance of “It’s a Wonderful World”. A response to the pandemic, Mary Beth looked to nature to find peace. The colorful landscape depicts one of her favorite hiking spots. A hand- dyed indigo provides inspiration for the backdrop. Brilliant flowers, green grass, blue skies and warm sunshine illustrate a wonderful world.
