So far September has been quilt cool - more so than usual, and already some of the trees are changing color. Our summer was quite unusual - cooler than usual, with very few days that topped out over 90.
I think I may have mentioned (maybe not) that I was going to take a landscape quilting class. It was on two Saturdays in August. The picture below is the not-yet-finished result of that class. I am not yet decided on whether I even like it very much. It has been a very intense process, with LOTS of fussy cutting from several different fabrics, and then LOTS of gluing and then free-motion tacking down of the pieces with monofiliment thread, and then sandwiching and LOTS of quilting down the pieces. I have finally finished through that point, and still need to quilt the green between the fence posts, and the blue at the top. I can't see me doing this process again, as I have decided I am definitely more a traditional quilting/piecing person.
I think it looks GREAT! I am regretting all the extra leaves I put on mine. aaarrrggghhh. LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Donna it's very pretty! But I think I would agree with you...that's a lot of futzing around. But worth it in the end I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI do like it and agree with you and Linda landscaping is not my cup of tea. Good to see you blog a bit though! I miss my Oregon connection!
