A little more

There's been a little more progress on the landscape - hard to tell from the photo but there's pretty much two days of work gone into this since you last saw it.  


It's now ready to start quilting so hopefully that will happen today - or at least partially.

  1. That's Claire Garland, the originator of the Dollivers, in Knitted Babes. And my parakeets! She's a wonderful designer and a very nice person.

    1. Thank you for the information - I somehow missed the name of the designer.

  2. Very nice
    The rain barrel cover up would be a good use for palette wood.
    Dot Pebbles' kniting is beautiful. Her bunny melts the heart, but I'm going with the pheasant, a favorite bird.

    1. Yes, a great use for palette wood for sure! I must pass that tidbit on to our #2 son - something he might like to do with his rain barrel.

  3. Oh love those rays of light on the snowy mountains in the back--this is really a lovely piece--you are so talented. I had always wanted to do landscapes, but never had the nerve to try one...beautiful work can't wait to see the quilting you add

    1. It took me years to muster the courage to even attempt doing a landscape much less the ones I'm figuring out as I go along now. I'm glad I finally jumped in though.

  5. I love watching your landscapes come alive - think I've said that before, but it still holds true. Great links today. I don't knit but I have a friend in Ireland who will love that knitting blog. Have a wonderful week.

    1. Glad you enjoy them Lorraine - I sometimes wonder if all I'm doing is boring everyone. I knit, but not like those wonderful things!

  6. Beautiful landscape. I feel the chill but know there will be warmth within the barn. I love your work.
    I also love all the trees and was astonished to see the moose, which I thought was real.

    1. Today it was quite hot here so it was rather pleasant to work on a chilly scene - not that I want the chill for real though!

  7. Good progress! I like the added details, it's coming to life.
    Don't give up, it's worth the struggle.

    1. Sometimes it definitely is a struggle but it's also fun to figure out the next steps as I go along.

  8. Looking good! I think I'm seeing sheet metal on that roof. I loved Boud's comment when I read it and I love it still. I look forward to using it myself one of these days when it fits the occasion. :) Oh... And the knitted animals!!! Amazing. And her photography with them just brings them to life.

    1. You got it! It is sheet metal but there's more to be done to it yet. You're so right that those knitted animals are amazing....I wouldn't have the patience for making them but they are cute.

    1. When I saw those key items it made me think of the collection of keys my parents had - long gone now of course!

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.
