Landscape Quilt Completed

"Under the Sea" Landscape quilt 11" x 8.5"
Today I am happy to say that I completed my landscape quilt from Jane LaFazio’s class at Art Unraveled. The whole thing is hand stitched. It’s the first time I’ve ever hand-pieced a quilt and then added lots of embroidery. It was the perfect project for sitting and recovering from my treatment. It’s an abstract landscape, which was what I was going for. The embroidery added to the abstraction, and as I just went with it, I found it becoming an undersea landscape. I had thought about adding beads or buttons, but right now, I think it will stay this way for a while. I might change my mind at a later date, but for now, this is just what I want.
I got ot see Angie today for the first time since Art Unraveled. We spent the morning talking and catching up. Then we went to lunch. It was so nice to catch up with Angie and to just be together!

Nice work. I bet it looks richer in 3-d. I like the idea of letting it develop as you go and see what happens. I hope to get to AU sometime as I’ve been inspired by all the work the participants have shared on their blogs.

Way cool free form landscape quilt. I can see why you think it looks like a seascape; it also reminds me of The Secret Garden: full of unruly treasures. Glad to hear you had a good time with Angie.
