I thought this was a nice Landscape and then socr8v posted hers! Thought I might embellish it--any suggestions?

How pretty

How about adding some little pig charms :)

nursie76 03-19-2010 07:41 PM

Very pretty! I want to do some of some of my pics from out cross country trip last summer, I hope I can do half as well.

This is a clever idea. Agree that would make it even more "charming." It's very nice as it is.

Very nice. I like it just the way it is, too.

Somebunny 03-19-2010 07:46 PM

Oh, I love it! You just gave me all kinds of ideas and inspiration!

I have seen some really cute cow buttons that would look nice in the meadow and maybe some birds in the sky.

Clotheslines loaded with your micro-mini quilts, G, would look great on every hill! I would have children playing in the foreground around a little pond, the sun shining bright and a crooked pipe coming out of the cabin's roof with smoke coming out, and dogs running everywhere! Have fun with your embellishing! It also looks good enough as it is!! :D :D

I think it looks great as it is. If you wanted to add some extras some heep might be nice and maybe a few birds in the sky.

I love it!!! Simple is nice--I don't think it needs a thing.

earlylace 03-20-2010 04:11 AM

How about button flowers? Lace

farnsworth 03-20-2010 04:12 AM

They have the cutest little animal buttons they might look cute, but I love the colors you used for the fields.

butterjoy 03-20-2010 04:17 AM

I really like this landscape. Did you make it up or use a photo??

barnbum 03-20-2010 04:37 AM

oksewglad--did you learn this technique from a book? I'd love to try one some day. Are the stitches on the top--like a crazy quilt? How do you get the curves to work?

Oklahoma Suzie 03-20-2010 05:55 AM

very cute

belmer 03-20-2010 12:35 PM

Great landscape quilt, makes me want to just jump right in an run and play in those hills.

mary quite contrary 03-20-2010 12:39 PM

How about a windmill? It looks great!

oksewglad 03-20-2010 06:51 PM

Thank you one and all for the wonderful comments. I like your ideas you've shared--animals I'd rather do cows (we milk the brown and white ones), and windmills sound good,too.
n2 I don't know if I can make mini's that small--LOL!
butterjoy and barnbum-- I purchased 2 patterns from The Quilted Lizard (Karen Eckmeier)called Farm & Fields and Autumn Hills. She calls them Accidental Landscapes. Website www.quilted-lizard.com I thought I was getting individual cutting instructions; but no she has to stretch my creativity (or somedays lack of it). One starts at the top with the sky and then freehand cut the pieces working from top to bottom. Fold under the top edge 1/4" and topstitch in place and until you feel you are done. I machine quilted the fence in the lower section with black thread. Cut the piece to the size I wanted, added the borders, then machine quilted in the sky and a couple of the hills and bound it. My friend and I did the piecing one afternoon on our "quilt day". Hers turned out great.

Windmill, cows, & how about a few rows in the foreground of corn stalks (since you live in Iowa). That is a great little DQ.

quiltykim 03-21-2010 05:24 PM

Sheep charms :) ?

Boston1954 03-21-2010 05:59 PM

A little tree. A farm truck. Moo Cow. Doggie.

buffy2 03-21-2010 06:00 PM

Cool good job ;)>

Thank you! Our small quilt guild just did a workshop using this technique. Tonight is meeting night, I'll try to remember to bring camera and take pics.
