After spending eight months doing genealogy research this last year, I was inspired to make this Family Farm quilt. I used a satellite map of the farm as a reference after enlarging to the actual size I wanted. I painted all of the different fields on separate pieces of fabric using Pebeo Setacolor paint and a Jonestones 3-D paint for the cornfields. This piece is 31" x 22". I made a foam stamp of a corn stalk to paint the backing and the ones on the front. I put some "ghost" pictures (old photos of my father, grandfather, and aunt in some fields with horses. I am pleased with my efforts.
