I finished the latest landscape but haven't come up with an appropriate title for it yet. It measures approx. 24x22" and features lots of embroidery, fussy cut and painted leaves, applique and machine quilting. Once more, Dale Stewart granted permission and provided the inspiration with one of his photos.

This is Dale's photo...
- You can go HERE to see some award-winning quilts.
- THIS is one of my 'awwww' things.
- I don't know how well THIS would work, but you might like to give it a try.
- I know it's not quite dandelion season yet, but perhaps you might want to bookmark some of THESE.

Lovely finish on this latest landscape art...;))) nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you Julierose - I'm happy with it, although it still remains nameless.
DeleteDandelions are a great salad. I love an early leaf with lettuce, before they get bitter. And they're great for pollinators. It's not good management to try to eradicate them. I have spoke!
ReplyDeleteAnd you spoke well! I'm in full agreement. I must admit I've never eaten them but I'm thinking about trying to make one of the creams or lip balms (provided I remember when the dandelions are actually in bloom!).
DeleteAnother beautiful landscape finish, Mary Anne. I am always amazed how true to the photo elements in your landscape are. LOVE the rusty old truck! Thank you for the link to cause me to wander through the gallery of those award winning quilts. Each and every one is mind boggling.
DeleteI love rusty old trucks so hard to resist attempting to recreate them in fabric. Glad you enjoyed the quilts!
DeleteBeautiful quilt! The flowers are especially charming, very detailed.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time quitting when I'm adding the flowers - hard to know when I've reached a good stopping point.
DeleteSherry of createology: I wish I had dandelions but somehow they are not in the high desert. Your latest landscape with the rusty old truck is wonderful. All of your embroidery really brings it to life. I like today’s quote.
ReplyDeleteI think dandelions are beautiful flowers but not everyone is on board with that. Thanks!
DeleteLove the finished landscape. We went by an old falling down barn and I almost took a picture of it. So many old vehicles and barns or homes here on the prairies.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The prairies are wonderful for finding old buildings and vehicles - many (if not most) of the photos I work from come from there.
DeleteIt's really beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki!
DeleteI especially love the sugar maple and the flowers :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Took me too many hours to count to make all those maple leaves but the end result was worth it.
DeleteBeautiful landscape quilt! I love the flowers in front of the truck, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are always a favourite thing to do although some of my landscapes don't seem to want them.
DeleteAnother wonderful finish, Mary Anne. Love, love, love the embroidered flowers. And those individual fussy cut and painted leaves almost seem to be blowing in the breeze.
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to help adding flowers - a throwback to all the crazy quilting I did over the years.
DeleteOh wow, that was quick!!! It's just beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy!
DeleteI'm just blown away by the way you can interpret those photos into such beautiful art quilts. You truly have a gift for it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy what I do with the landscapes and can't see stopping anytime soon because there's so much wonderful inspiration out there.
