I sure wish I could get a new camera soon because you really can't see all the colors in my pics right now. Oh well. :D Wouldn't want to take money away from getting fabric now would I? lol

This is beautiful! How did you do it? Did you take a class, read a book or teach yourself?

I'd love something like this of the redwoods!

Its absolulty gorgous. your are not only a great quilter but and artist as well.

The trees look so real I can see myself being able to peel off the bark. How did you get the sky so beauitful. If it weren't for the stiching I say it was painted. I have looked at it 4 times and just I'm at a loss for words

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

I am going to talk to myself more when I am looking at fabrics. Your choices are beautiful. This prompts me to say that this is one reason to shop at a store other than WalMart. If you found fabrics like these at WM it would be a major fluke. Quilt stores know what we are looking for, and try their best to have it for us.

WOW !!!!!!!!!! You are one talented lady :!: :!: That is beautiful!

Yes you are right. I do check at Walmart but seldom buy there. I buy a lot online but also check the thrift stores, drapery places and yard sales. You never know what you're gonna find. :) Thank you

Wow! These trees look real. This is wonderful. You did a great job.

Thank you.
