Yes, I finally finished the latest landscape! Took me awhile but there you have it. I tried to do a little video for you but it's refusing to load here so I guess that wasn't such a good plan.
- Karen Ruane (embroiderer extraordinaire!) has announced her new venture and you can read more about it HERE.
- THIS is a really cute little bag that would serve so many purposes.
- Have a peek through the creations of THIS artist.
- THIS is another tutorial for a great little bag.
Today the quote is from Lisa Heckman..."In a society that has you counting money, pounds, calories and steps, be a rebel and count your blessings instead"
That's a terrific new landscape, well done, you! I must check out whether Karen Ruane continues to work white on white. virtuosic stitcher.
ReplyDeleteKaren is currently working mostly with white but has been adding colour to her pieces. Still as prolific and amazing as ever!
DeleteThank you for the kudos!
Lovely finish;))) hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you Julierose. Now I'm looking forward to starting the next one!
DeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteGreat quote!
The folk art embroidery is gorgeous. It reminds me of your quilting work.
Thank you! I liked the folk art embroidery too and see a couple of design possibilities.
DeleteI think Herbie just got some love through the work of your magic needle. Another fantastic piece! Wow! I haven't signed up for Karen's new adventure, but I am thinking about it. She's inspires me greatly.
DeleteI hope Herbie felt the love! And yes, Karen certainly is an inspiration.
DeleteAnother great finish!! You’ve really found your “wheelhouse”!! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy - I'm enjoying what I'm doing, that's for sure.
DeleteSherry of createology: Your VW bug landscape is beautiful dear. The Folk Artist works are amazing. Every time I see bags to sew I want to get my machine humming…but alas never do. I do count my blessings everyday and you my friend are definitely one of my blessings! XO
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry! Bags inspire me too and I always make plans to create some and then I get seduced by landscapes.
DeleteHerbie looks fantastic! What a great finish.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine! He was certainly fun to do.
DeleteGorgeous landscape.
ReplyDeleteThose little bags are so cute.
God bless.
Thank you Jackie! I'm happy this one is finished and can't wait to start on another.
DeleteThis is a fabulous finish Mary Anne. I truly believe that your landscapes get better each time you make one. Christine xx
ReplyDeleteWell I hope I'm getting better because they do say practice makes perfect. Methinks I have to do a LOT more practicing before I reach perfect though!
DeleteWow!! Another sublime landscape with Herbie as the star! Just amazing, Mary Anne!
ReplyDeleteHerbie IS a star - at least in my mind. That's why I simply couldn't resist Michael's photo when I saw it.
DeleteHerbie is a fitting name for this old car! Great job. Thanks for bag patterns.
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't be anything BUT Herbie! Although, I suppose, most young people these days wouldn't have a clue who Herbie was.
DeleteYou improved on the original picture, which is quite a feat as the original picture is stunning. I just noticed the wonky visor on the driver's side. It's perfect! I love all your details. The flowers, and the building adds to the quilted picture, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Becki - kind words indeed!
DeleteGreat job on your finished piece of art. Great interpretation.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had fun with it.
DeleteYou made Herbie beautiful again, what a fantastic finish!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love 'Herbie' so I couldn't resist making this one.
