Blog Hop Party - pattern giveaway

If your new to my blog, or a follower, thanks for stopping by ;-)

Quilting Gallery is having a giveaway blog party that I'm joining in on - go here for more giveaways

My "thing" is making realistic appliqué art quilts (how's that for a mouthful)

I started out making other people's patterns, loved it and then moved on to making up my own.

Just last year I started making fuible applique patterns for sale with detailed tutorials to go along with them.

 

Here are two of my patterns

 

I'm giving away a pattern of your choice to 4 lucky winners! Go here to my craftsy pattern store to check them out. Just leave a comment telling me your favorite of the patterns and I will pick 4 names at random on March 15th and email them to you. Please be sure I can go to your profile and get your email address.

You can also get to craftsy by clicking the craftsy button and searching for landscapelady. I make alot more quilts than patterns so if you would like to check out some of the other art quilts I make go to my etsy shop here.

I also like to tweet about quilting so if you are a twitter person and like to talk about quilting, fabric, crafts and sewing - please follow me on twitter - I'm @quiltscapes there.

Ok, business out of the way, what am I working on now?
Well I started with this
 

Proceeded to do this

 

Ended up with this - and since I was going for a sky and decided it looked like pink mountains

I took it apart and made it into this - pink sunrise! Yay! but lots more to do...........

 

Making big stones and ground / lower sky...........

This is where I ended last night .............. Can you tell where I'm going with this now?

More to do - stone tops, stone shading

and a sun focal point. How to do that? ...........hmmmmmmm

Any suggestions?

  1. Wow. Didn't expect the stones to appear there. I was thinking more oblong the lines of starfish and sand!

    The stones are fabulous though. Are you doing stonehenge or easter island? Are ther visages in there?

    I thought about you when I was feeling halfway decent last week. We were in valley of fire taking incredible photos!

  52. Lovely things. You are an intrepid appliquer. I think the chickadees are my favorite but also love the dog and the sheep. I guess I'm an animal lover. Come by Prairie Cottage Corner and visit when you have a moment. I'll put the tea kettle on. I'm an appliquer too (member of Appliquer's Anonymous....shhhhhh). Thanks for letting us visit.
