  1. Your church landscape came out lovely. I really like the composition. Can you say more about how you quilted it?

    1. Thank you Liz! As for how I quilted it - well, the grass area is done using rows of the 'fancy' stitches on my sewing machine in various threads that I think work with the background fabric. The tree leaves are free motioned with invisible thread, and the sky is just done with rows of stitching (also with invisible thread). Nothing too involved!

  2. It is perfect. The church reminds me of one I went to see in Saskatchewan where my father grew up.

  3. Oh wow, your landscape is exquisite, Mary Anne! The church standing tall against that lovely quilted sky is fabulous and that autumnal tree....it is beautiful. Aah yes, be still. If ever there was a time to do this it is now. Love that quote!

    1. For sure - most of us have lots of those so this might be a good use for some of them!

  6. The church landscape is beautiful! Thanks for all the links! I sent the embroidery one to my daughter. She lived in India a few years ago and learned embroidery from a lady there. She's picked it back up and has been making some beautiful projects. I feel like we are SO blessed to have so many options online for keeping us busy!

    1. Online options and just spending time surrounded by our stash can certainly help us while away a lot of hours for sure. Maybe some of us will finish some of our UFO's too. Glad your daughter is enjoying embroidery!

  7. Your Church scene is neither under or over done- it's perfect. In real life it would have passers-by stopping for a better look. I've enjoyed all the comments too.

    1. I know if I were to drive by that church there would be a 'stop the car' scream happening. Resident Chef is quite used to that!
