Absolutely stunning.

What a terrific pictoral piece -- and I especially love the way you added his mailbox and the two small birds. It's a wonderful tribute to a man's life and your friend will love you for doing it for her.

That is just fabulous, great job!

Love the little finches on the mailbox. And the sky--it picks up the colors in the barn so well, and the golden grain. You have made a lovely creation, the heavens overhead and the fertile fragrant
earth.

DebraK 11-25-2012 06:48 AM

nicely done.

DogHouseMom 11-25-2012 07:43 AM

Very nice. lovely colors, nice balance. Well done.

This is spectacular! You did such a beautiful job, and all the fabric choices are so right for their locations on this, too! I was amazed to zoom in and pick out a second building behind the red barn, not to mention the hay rake in the lower right front, and the birds on the mailbox are a wonderfully delightful touch.
For some strange reason I have a soft spot for barns, so this is right up my alley.

Wonderful wallhanging! Is the sky pieced or a piece of printed fabric, it is beautiful!

debcavan 11-25-2012 09:33 AM

Oh my heavens is that wonderful..

mrsaj11 11-25-2012 10:20 AM

This is all pieced, except for the birds the rest I chose the fabric, and thank you all for your AWESOME remarks, MRSAJ11

Looks like a painting. Nice job. It always amazes me to see what folks can do with fabric.
