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...

  2. 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!

    1. Thanks 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!

  4. Looks like a great project started. Enjoyed Sewing Support. New one to me. Fascinated by the artist quilts, but more by prices SOLD!

    1. Yes, I'm always astounded by the prices some people are able to command. Good on them for being able to do so though.

  5. Oh, autumn is my favourite season. Your hills are alive with colour - good fabric choices too. Your quilts just keep getting better and better.

    1. Autumn is my favourite too, even though I know it's a harbinger of things to come that I don't like!

  6. 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.

    1. 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!

    1. It's an evolutionary process as I work on a landscape - I never know what direction it's going to take.
