Foggy progress?

 As you can see I've made some progress on the latest landscape.  I'm striving for the effect of fog but not sure how successful I've been.  I still have to finish working on the tree and it will have some 'bits' of fog added too.  Then it will be on to the embroidery.



- THESE would be cute to make for Easter!  And THIS too.

- There are some really nice block designs HERE.

- THIS is a cute little item that would serve many purposes.

- I think THIS is intriguing.

- THIS is an awwww-thing.  While you're there, scroll through all her amazing free designs found HERE.

  1. The quotation is a good reminder that it's not our job to make anyone at all happy! That's their job.

    1. Thanks Vicki! I thought it would be fun to play with paper piecing and a type of log cabin.

  9. Your landscape looks so good! I can totally imagine it in real life. The links to the patterns you included look so cute! I haven't had time to really sew or stitch or anything in ages with work being super busy lately, but this is making me want to carve out some time so I can make things for my kids. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Sherryofcreateology: Your landscape is coming along nicely. I don’t have a clue how you create fog. Maybe. A wavy layer of organdy fabric. Great links dear. Another very appropriate quote. I hope you are enjoying some Spring weather.

    1. Organza is I think what I used (it came from a 'harvested' old wedding dress so not sure what it is). Spring keeps teasing us but had more snow this morning.
