I'm remiss

 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.

      Thank you Jocelyn. I thought the tree needed to have some falling leaves to add more interest.

      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.

      The beach scene is something fun to contemplate in this cold weather, for sure.

    Sherry 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.

    I've liked this piece since the first day I saw it, because of the quilt pieced theme. So clever.

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.
