I am blushing. Thank you very much for all the praise. I could do a wall hanging for you of the Redwoods. I just need a good picture to work from. I would certainly be willing to give it a try if you'd like to trade a lap quilt or something. Just let me know. I got this pattern from a book but am basically self taught. I live in the boonies so no classes near me.
The sky is a Batik fabric that I added a fancy stitch to. I search stores and the net for just the right pieces that will work for landscapes. People think I'm crazy when I'm in a store talking to myself, saying things like, oh wow that sure looks like a thunderstorm, or a sunny sky to me. LOL
