At long last, another piece-fulness post! :-) They are few and far between I know. I missed Quilt Guild in July because we were on the trip, then in August I didn't feel well. It was great to be back last night. Cathy Geier was the guest speaker, and oh, was she FUNNY! Great presentation. And look at these amazing landscape quilts!

| Cathy's husband happened to be sitting on the edge of the stage. he offered to move, but I told him it was ok. The one on the left is of Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, and the one on the right was inspired by a painting. |

| She loves themes that use arches. |

And then here's what I saw on stage when we first arrived! Having just been to Monument Valley in July (and my header photo is one of my photos from that trip on A Colorful World) I was just blown away by this! I will HAVE to do this at some time! :-) I don't like the three panel idea. I will do it in one piece, I think. The photos just don't do it justice. It was really gorgeous!!!

 |
| And this is how it's done...though I have to admit, I'm not crazy about the use of a foundation-piecing method as much as she does. I don't like to foundation-piece. So, I will alter the method a bit for my own purposes. I am planning a landscape quilt for my grandson soon. |

And a parting shot. :-)

I just discovered this blog. What amazing quilts! I enjoy quilting, but just don't have the time and no inclination during summer months. In the winter I start thinking about sewing, but I don't have a room where I can leave my projects out until I have time to finish them. Love the baby quilt below. I like to make small quilts becauses they are faster to make. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Monument Valley quilt. Yes, definitely put that on your to-do list. That should have been a super quilt guild meeting
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing quilts...you are so lucky to get to see them.
ReplyDeleteOh, how funny is that Mona Lisa! Those quilts are so beautiful. But I admire the fact that you want to chose your own way of doing a technique for a quilt......that is the true artist in you! Cant wait to see the landscape quilt that you want to do!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is a craft/art with infinite possibilities. These are definitely works of art!
ReplyDeleteThese are quite amazing! :)
