A little update
Over the weekend I did manage to get a little bit done on the landscape and here is where it stands now...
Another in the getting older quote series: "As I get older I realize sometimes I roll my eyes out loud"
About epp: I hugely recommend Flossie Teacakes, aka Florence Knapp whose book on the subject is the best. I learned a ton from her, and now I pretty much know what I'm doing with designing my own. Just a thought!
Looks like you've got a quite a bit done on your newest quilted picture. Love the colorful hills! And thanks for the link to the snowflake patterns. I'm sort of on the lookout for pretty crocheted snowflakes. Those definitely fit the bill.
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.
Good Morning. Your newest project is alive with autumn hills. You are going to have to hurry with this one before the snow falls, lol.

Hah - the snow has already hit here, so I guess I'm a bit late!

ReplyDeleteThanks Liz - so far I'm resisting the EPP urge and will do my best to continue because I don't want to have to buy any more stash!
DeleteFunny quote!
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile too!
DeleteBut your readers need to know about her!!
ReplyDeleteThey do now!
DeleteLooks like a great project started. Enjoyed Sewing Support. New one to me. Fascinated by the artist quilts, but more by prices SOLD!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm always astounded by the prices some people are able to command. Good on them for being able to do so though.
DeleteOh, autumn is my favourite season. Your hills are alive with colour - good fabric choices too. Your quilts just keep getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favourite too, even though I know it's a harbinger of things to come that I don't like!

ReplyDeleteGlad the timing for the snowflake link was good. Looking forward to seeing what you end up making!
DeleteHi Maryanne oh this is going to be a lovely landscape,well done on your beautiful work my friend xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheryl. Hopefully it turns out well!
DeleteGreat start to the next landscape Mary Anne, looking forward to watching it's progress. Christine xx
ReplyDeleteMe too Christine - it's at the stage right now where I always wonder if I should be even attempting to do this art.
DeleteWow! Thank you so much for mentioning my blog, that is so so kind of you. Have a lovely day, you've certainly made mine!
ReplyDeleteYou're more than welcome Emma! Thanks for coming to visit me here.
DeleteGreat work on your new project, yes, the autumn colors are fun!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing more.
Maybe as I work on this one I can pretend to turn back the clock and have some more fall weather, rather than the snow and cold!
DeleteLovely links as usual :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them!
DeleteLoving the background. Makes me smile as I love Autumn, but its all Spring here at the moment as the weather heats up for us.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could trade places!
DeleteThis Fall landscape is looking beautiful. Your ability to take fabrics and make a beautiful picture with them is magic dear. Blessings...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry - there's a long way to go before it looks the way I'd like it to.
DeleteLandscape is looking good! Good luck. Tyhanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteIt's an evolutionary process as I work on a landscape - I never know what direction it's going to take.
