Well, This is different!
I have some friends who are real-live serious quilters, and I know they sometimes have a look at my blog posts. When I see the precision in their angles and straight lines... Well, I'll just say that I'm not in competition there. I'm more of a play-around-with-fabric-sometimes kind of girl.
A while ago, one of those amazing quilter friends, LeeAnne, posted an image of a landscape done with fabric scraps. I was mesmerized and went back to look at it again and again. (You can see it HERE.) With a little advice and encouragement from her, I started placing scraps of color.
My weekly-ish challenge was "Standing." I was reminded of this Advice from a Tree... Stand Tall and Proud.
SEW wonderful that you were inspired by LeeAnna's work and even better that you acted on it right away, Helen!!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it was a Drop-Everything-And-Make-It project.
DeleteI love this little experiment in fabric, and think it looks great! Of course, it had to be apurroved by the resident fur cat!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if I try this one again. Maybe!
DeleteYou made a beautiful tree! My favorite part of your fabric tree is the tail tip - lol!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Silly cat!
Deleteha the snoopervisor stamp of approval... It looks so good and captures the feel of your vista... you're such a fine artist, which translates into the fiber medium. LeeAnna
ReplyDelete"Snoopervisor" - good title!
DeleteThanks for the encouragement!
I love that big ole tree and your quilt! And you are from Arkansas! YAY! I was born and raised there. Where do you live? Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI do love that big ole tree too, although my piece is really only about the side of a placemat. I'm not sure it qualifies as a quilt. I grew up in Mena, but I've been in Fayetteville since college.
DeleteYay for LeeAnna's encouragement - this turned out very well, and love the tail tip! He coordinates with the tree so NBD. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa! You know our cat helpers! He'd much rather have been lying across it.
