"Liberated" Barn for DQ Swap
2 Attachment(s)
I've been experimenting in "liberated" piecing. It takes a little foresight to put one together but this was fun. Only wish I would've used a little more contrast in windmill and sky. This should be in[ATTACH=CONFIG]306634[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]306635[/ATTACH] OK tomorrow. Just the windmill is first.

Wow, really creative, and great thinking "out of the box"!
|
I think it's adorable, the windmill blades seem to be rotating.
|
Oooh, very very nice! :)
|
Looks like a fun project!
|
Just beautiful, great job, thanks for sharing
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
That is absolutely wonderful ... a very realistic funky farm scene! You got the old windmill just right (yes OK, a little more contrast would been nice). And your detailing of the birds, grass?/hay? growing up above the fabric, and straw hanging out of the mow is fantastic.
I'm sure in your farm community this will be a hit. Is it heading to the school fundraiser too? or? |
Can you say "fabric paints" or perhaps markers? You can add some shadow and contour to the windmill to make it pop out a bit. Still, it's pretty just the way it is.
|
Love this... what is liberated piecing?
|
very nicely done!!
|
Gives me ideas! Thanks
|
Wow! That's great looking.
|
The lightness of the windmill blades makes it look like motion. Good job.

|
Absolutely stunning!
|
Very nice job!

Thanks you for the kind words. This is a stretch for me; my third liberated project. I took pictures as I went through the process.
QuiltE--no this is for the doll quilt swap here on board; not sure how "liberated" my little community is--lol Cheshirecatquilter--I really like your idea, but I am not very steady with a pen or paint brush. Whenever I try to touch something up like you suggest, I just mess it up and find it best to leave it be. Otherwise I would take the suggestion and run with it. CotUninverse--liberated quilting is a free style approach to piecing. Think "Gee's Bend" quilts. Gwen Marston is a pioneer in it applying it to modern day quilting. Accurate cutting and sewing are not the norm! |
really cute and creative
|
Gladie; I love it!! I really like Gwen Marston designs and made a liberated flower pot quilt for a niece of mine. It's fun.

Great job! As usual. This inspires me to try some 'liberation' also.
|
I love It! Great look! I love windmills! Windmills mean water here in W TX. We're still in a drought!
|
That is so very nice.
|
My favorite barn ever!! Love i t!
|
G.- Looking at your artwork again! I like the way the windmill looks. All the detail-did you make the barn siding 3-D? the straw and grass looks real. And the colors are so me, country looking and all. N.
|
Super job--I bet many will be inspired, me for one. Thanks for posting.
|
Wonderful work!

Your welcome, M. These barns are fast fading from our landscape just as your Rickleif's house is. Between DS's and our place we still have old barns, but have new ones too. More functionality for our farm today, but not the same character.
|
Nice, a cute Scene. I love old barns.
