ADDITIONS

Progress is being made on the winter farm scene.  As long as I see that I do not panic about not finding as much time as I would like to, to move along on this new piece.  I am also happy with how it is coming together and that is always a good thing!

Today I began construction of some Canadian Geese.  I love the Canadian and this scene is the perfect background for them and adds movement to the piece.  I love that transformation.

Hope you enjoyed the journey I took when creating this piece.  I love the old fashioned small farm and farmers.  I feel it is going to soon disappear from our landscape so I hope to immortalize my memories in these farm scene quilts that I so enjoy making.  My cousins had an uncle who lived on a farm and I was lucky as a young girl to go out there and spend time.  I personally love horses so loved working on them and having them added into this textile art piece.  The farm had two work horses whose names I have forgotten but I like to think they could have been Buck and Jack.  I have since had a great fondness for the working horse whether it be just the old farm horse or the beautiful Belgians and Clydesdales.

NOTE:  This fiber art piece has SOLD and is going to a private collector in Canada.
