Stunning!
And please do tell us more about the process ... please? and thanks!

My piece was made with all commerical fabrics, nothing was hand dyed. All of the fabrics was either fussy or messy cut. I had a photo that I had brought with me. But it was not copied exactly, but resembled the photo. Allot of the fabrics were altered with markers, pastels, and or office supplies.
If you are not able to take a class with Natalie Sewell, my best advise is to purchase the very reasonable cd that Natalie Sewell and Nancy Zieman put out a few years back called "The Art of Landscape Quilting" Nothing ever takes the places of taking the class in person but this is a well covered cd for this process to make these quilts.
Hope this helps in your journey. If you lived closer I would invite you over for coffee and to play with landscape fabrics.

Thanks for the further info ... I checked your blog and learned a wee bit more. IAnd totally agree, nothing is quite the same as the IRL experience! Plus you ge tto really catch the enthusiasm from the people. Curious as to what markers and office supplies you used. Am thinking by pastels, you are talking the same as what artists would use? You can call me, VERY intrigued!

I would be more than happy to call you. Just PM me your phone number and I can call and chat!!! Helen
