I suddenly realized that I neglected to share a picture of the latest completed landscape with you. So, without further adieu, here it is...
FOR SALE!
This one measures 25x26"
This one gave me fits when it came to the finishing. I re-did the border twice before finally giving up on my original idea, tearing it off and going with a simple bias tape treatment.
- There's a really good tutorial HERE for adding borders to your quilts.
- When I came across THIS I thought the centre section would make a pretty table topper.
- THIS guy made me laugh.
- I'd like THIS to make me think of summer!
- THIS might be a fun bit of escapism.
Today's quote..."Never judge a book by its movie"
I just love how you rendered the leafy part of the tree. So clever as always! Thanks for the links also as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jocelyn. I thought the tree needed to have some falling leaves to add more interest.
DeleteLovely landscape finish:))) . I really like the "Borders" tutorial you linked--a good one thanks.. and those watercolor doodle
ReplyDeletebirds look like a fun project....
Hugs, Julierose
I was actually thinking of you when I posted the link to the doodles and wondering if you could use the technique in your books.
DeleteI really like that beach terrarium, especially the Adirondack chair! So tempted..
ReplyDeleteThe beach scene is something fun to contemplate in this cold weather, for sure.
DeleteSherry of createology: Hubby and I have been gone to Durango Colorado so I have missed your posts. Your latest Landscape quilt is amazing. Your Autumn Tree is very unique. Thanks for lots of great links. Having lived in the very snowy forest for 20 years I always missed my Southern California Beaches, Come August I always set up my little beach scene with sand and shells I had saved. Happy Weekend Dear.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good trip! Glad you enjoyed the links and that one of them brought back good memories.
DeleteI've liked this piece since the first day I saw it, because of the quilt pieced theme. So clever.
ReplyDeleteThank you - much appreciated!
DeleteI love the falling leaves. They really make the landscape come alive.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It was a lot of cutting to make the leaves but I think it makes it better too.
DeleteBeautiful! I love it! Reminds me of the farm where I grew up and my late dad's Ferguson.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the wavy quilting and all of the falling leaves.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki! I like the leaves too, even though they were a lot of work.
DeleteHi MA: Love the new quilt, am excited to get the quilt I ordered from you. Thank-you for the fun links.
ReplyDeleteThe frog cracked me up.
Cold and windy here today, sun shining with a bit of flurry's every once in a while.

Glad you enjoyed the frog - he certainly made me smile. And I'm excited too!! Hope you like it when it arrives.
DeleteAnother masterful landscape quilt, Mary Anne. Those falling leaves are inspired. Makes me think of Autumn which will arrive here in a couple of months. Those tread blocks in the tractor tyre look so real, and clever. Love, love the tree. Ahh yes.....I can only think of a couple of movies that were as good as the book.
ReplyDeleteawww, thank you Kim!
DeleteIt's just beautiful!! I really need to try an art quilt one day, you are so inspiring! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you do play with art quilts because they're so much fun to create.
DeleteI really like the simple border on this. And those wavy stitched lines of the sky - Wow. That is stunning, Mary Anne.
ReplyDeleteThe border gave me issues so I ended up just using black bias tape to finish it off. Thanks Becki!
