Elk in Mountains
 
1 Attachment(s)
I had a lot of fun with this one. I had dyed the purplish fabric and didn't know what to do with it so used it for mountains. It is part reality and part fantasy which always makes it more fun. I'm not sure about the water lillies in the pond but we have a lot of them in the high country of Idaho. Thanks for looking.

I like your scene. Did you use a printed deer or piece it too? Good job.

That is beautiful, as are all your art quilts. I love lily pads.

A work of art!!!

It is wonderful! I must admit that the lilly pads kind of draw my eye away from the main subjects of the picture. Your mountains and Elk are superb.

Cuppi, that looks wonderful! Great job! :)

Awesome....that looks perfect. Beautiful. Colorado has purple mountains like that at just the right time of day.

What? You weren't reminded of "... purple mountains majesty ..."?! It looks wonderful to me. I can even imagine the frogs in the lily pads.

When I saw this quilt I thought to myself "Oh gosh that's beautiful." When I look at it, everything fits into the quilt. Wouldn't it be lovely to have this hanging on a wall to see & enjoy everyday. I admire your talent & please keep posting.

No I didn't use a printed piece. It is fusible raw edge applique. We have a lot of elk here and it was based on a photgraph a friend took.

Beautiful :)

Love it! The sky you made is marvelous!!! The lilies sorta drew my eye, but I say leave them as it represents your home area, plus it would be dull on the bottom without them.

Very lovely and such a wonderful job! I love it!

JEL523 04-11-2012 04:01 PM

Well done and your elk looks very realistic!

BSKTLOFR-QUILTER 04-11-2012 04:14 PM

Oh, my, how gorgeous!! I'm yearning for an elk quilt, but this goes way beyond my abilities and dreams. The sky and mountains are perfectly colored. The pond and Lillies remind me of some of the high country scenes I've ran across while ATVing. Awesome. Now I'm yearning for those summer riding days. Thanks for sharing.

As always, gorgeous quilt! Love your work! :)

Chris Anders 04-28-2012 04:15 PM

terri bb 04-28-2012 04:22 PM

how beautiful that is! ive got water lillies here too so i think it's great. love the way you hid the hooves. those would be so hard to do! fun meeting people from idaho, there are so few. i am up WAY north by coeur d alene and we see these every spring. i used to live in weiser; payette is a cute little town! till the year i had to have a sagebrush from cambridge for my christmas tree; the following year we moved up north! :)

QM 04-28-2012 04:31 PM

Do you have a website I can visit? I think your work is incredible and would like to purchase a pattern or two.
