lavender and white

I think lavender may be my favorite scent, flower and color. Paired with white it just looks so relaxing and fresh.

Road Home Quilting had a great blog post on color and she had some inspiring photos, the above being one of them. I had to make a lavender and white quilt!

I started out making a patchwork scrappy background of the lavender shades with a little green thrown in and I was going to put a chair on it and call it a day, but the background just didn't work so I scrapped my scrappy squares and went back to what I do best - landscapes.

can you see the little fairy button by my chair?

and is that peter cotton tail following his bunny trail?

this was really fun to make and thank you to road home for the inspiration

Happy Quilting

I just finished this landscape yesterday! I have been doing some different styles lately - patchwork, zentangles etc. so it was really enjoyable to go back to my first and true love - landscaping. 

(guess that's why they call me landscapelady):):)

anyway this was inspired by the view that I see every time I go to see my parents  - driving on route 22A just past vergennes you look out on this beautiful magestic farmland. So beautiful, with the adirondack mountains in the background.

this photo shows alittle more of the detail - of course - love the cows! - that was fussy cut from an all over cow fabric so I added the bushes to hide the cut parts that were from another cow.

the best part is the fence at the bottom - used locker hooking to add fabric strips and yarn to look like rocks and flowers.

all and all - pretty happy how it turned out.

Happy Quilting!
