A finish!
I finished the grain elevator landscape a couple of days ago and here it is....
You only have ten jars filled with buttons?? =) Your grain elevator landscape is beautiful, Mary Anne. I love the wintry landscape and the different quilting patterns are fabulous. I am always amazed how true to the photo your landscapes are. Another gorgeous finish!
I did have fourteen jars - had a grand sort through awhile ago and downsized quite a lot. 'Blessed' the thrift store with the rejects. Now I *only* have ten jars. Thanks for the kind words!
Wonderful finish Mary Anne! I really love it! Where do you manage to find all the links you pass on? Always so much fun to go and visit! Have a lovely weekend! Christine xx
Thank you Christine! I was happy with it when I finished it, so that's always good. As for the links - anywhere and everywhere! I belong to a number of mailing lists and some come from there, some from Pinterest, and some just because I have an avid curiosity and 'do a google' to see what I find.
This is lovely and you have captured the mood of this grain silo and snowy stormy weather perfectly. Your vision and talent for turning a photograph into a fabric quilt is amazing dear. Great Job!!! Oh those two days that always make me such a worry wart.
I'm happy with this one Sherry - even though I was worried about attempting to 'create' snow (AND that stormy sky too!). And worry warting isn't good for us, so live in the today!
Wonderful! You are such a clever lady! Amazing quilting! A great depiction of he photograph! Sorry to be late ..... I followed the link to the gorgeous needlecase, and well, like you, I was looking around and forgot where I started out from ...... sorry! Love it, Mary Anne, well done! Hugs, Barbara xx
Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
Congratulations on your finish!
ReplyDeleteAnd that needle case is amazing with the embroidery and construction, thanks for the link.
Thanks Janie! I liked that needlecase too - different from the ones you normally see.

DeleteBeautiful! Love all the texture!
ReplyDeleteSnow is rather boring unless it has some 'texture'!

DeleteThat looks great. How big is it?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's about 18 x 24" (give or take)
DeleteYou can never go wrong with a grain elevator as your subject matter.
ReplyDeleteThe word 'stately' comes to mind - because that's what they look like. Having a great photographer willing to share makes a huge difference too!

DeleteWow - it's looks brilliant finished! I love the Dalai Lama's quote.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun to do (but then again, I say that about ALL my old buildings!!).
DeleteWell done !
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki!

Hee hee - I completely 'get' the looking around and forgetting where you start from - I do it ALL the time!! I call it falling down the rabbit hole.
DeleteMagnificent job on this one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy!
DeleteWhat a stunning finish! Love the quote, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee - I was happy with this one, considering it was my first attempt to play with creating snow.
