A finish!

Over the weekend I managed to finish the latest landscape quilt....


FOR SALE! 
SOLD!

This one is a fairly local barn and caught my eye because of the 'L-shape'.  I'm sure there's a proper name for it, but I don't know what it is.  This one is for sale if anyone is interested!

    1. Thank you! Now this one is finished I'm anxious to start on the next one on my list, but I have to take a bit of time 'off' to work on another project first.

  2. Oh dear.. now I have to make paper boats for my tiny dolls. Except why not paper biplanes for them...or both. A fleet and a flight.

    This is all your doing.. wondering if boats are in the cqteers future.

    1. Thanks Janie...it was another fun one to work on. I don't know that many people who use aprons these days (although most of us should!!), but I liked that design.

  5. Very interesting L-shaped Barn and your Landscape/Barnscape is gorgeous! I Love it dear. What a wonderful paper boat. Good Quote and reminds me of “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish and he eats for life.” I do not know the author but my husband repeats it often.

    1. It was fun to attempt an L-shape for a change. There are so many interesting barns out there! I've heard the fish quote often too - my DH is a fisherman (or was when he was younger) and so that quote was very apt.

    1. It is a nice barn and still in use by all appearances. Sad to see so many of them being allowed to fall into ruin.

  9. Congratulations on finishing another masterpiece. I might add to your quote today .. a good teacher also makes them ask and want to look for the answer.

  11. I'm so glad I went digging on your blog... I knew I had missed seeing this finish. I'm in awe over the detail in this, Mary Anne. The rolling hills of grass - perfection. And the fabric flowers and bunny! And the other wild things growing! And the fences! The trees... sigh. The people who buy these works of art must sit and admire them for hours.

    1. There are actually two bunnies - you missed one? As for purchasers - don't I wish! Sales are few and far between unfortunately.

    2. I had to go look for the second bunny. I found it there poking it's head above the flowers. Cute! I'm sure I would have seen it if I was studying this in person. And you can bet I'd be studying it. ;^)

    1. I don't wear aprons either (but then again, Resident Chef does all the cooking so I don't have to!).
