Looks wonderful~ I wonder how stiff the fabric is in the end? My image of fabric paints hasn’t developed since elementary school, so I don’t know how flexible the fabric is at the end!

I do not have a website, ihope that i can still blog here.

i do have a project to start and am looking forward to doing some of it in landscape and the rest in applique. it is a quilt project to launch a childrens story book line. my husband is the author. the story depicts a trip to blue mountain where everything encountered is quite blue even the food and the visitors become blue. To design a quilt with so much of one color will be challenging, i plan to add opposites for contrast like orange and yellow and will be using blues from cobalt to sky w/lavendar in there somewhere. your hints have been great inspirationa nd your site is getting a bookmark for sure!

will visit again and keep posting my progress.

Thank you, Vicki, for posting such a clear and encouraging discussion as well as inspirational quilting. I’m trying my first landscape for a purse for my sister. It will be a far cry from what you have done, but your comments here help me to see possibilities and to have lots of fun.

I want to make a landscape wall hanging w/a width of ~44″. Is this too wide, or should I split it between 3 hangings next to each other?

I also “Googled” Newfoundland Riverside Wool blankets and found you. I recently came into possession of a Newfoundland Riverside Pure Wool blanket. It appears in mint condition and I would love to know more about it’s origin. Mine is cream with blue stripes along each end. Did you have any luck finding more about it? Any information would be appreciated. I bought it at a thrift shop!

Looking forward to your reply,
Alliene

I am an artist and find it monotonous cutting precise squares and triangles from cloth however the landscape quilts make me come alive but I have no clue to where I would begin. My paint brush does and I was wondering do people actually paint quilts? Or are all the colors based on fabric color choices. Do you use a stick up on the wall and create method or go by paper cut out templates or build as you go and on what color/material base? I really need this experience and avenue to express my work but am used to immmediate color application process through mere painting and the idea of putting this on cloth is utterly amazing. Thanks Lynnette

Many thanks for your ideas. Just beginning to experiment on landscape quilts, something I have wanted to do for years. Do you have any ideas with buying the landscape fabric or favourite shops that have these. Not many australian shops carry landscape fabrics. At present I am working on my first – a view of the lavender fields of Tasmania, Australia

Comment on Artist’s Bio by Betty Avril

I have inherited an old painting from my grandmother. It looks like a fishing or a whaling expedition. The artist’s signature is hard to decipher but it looks like “Merrill” or “Merritt”. The dunes are snow covered and the fishing boat is being pulled by horses to the sea where a large sailing vessel is moored. The fishermen are all bundled up and one or two look like they are wearing fur hats. I first thought it was a Cape Cod scene, but others have suggested Newfoundland or Greenland or even maybe Norwegian. Do you know what the fishing boats would have looked like in the 1800’s? Does the artist’s name ring a bell?

The next time we see you in your booth we plan to purchase a birch… I guess we could go to the Shop in the meantime… but it’s always better in person.
