GREY BARN RED BARN

Can not believe that so much time has past since my last post.  I had a very bad cold and just could not focus with all the sneezing, coughing and blow of the nose!   However it seems to have finally moved on so I was back in the studio today.

All the background tress are quilted.  I then began work on constructing the two barns I wanted to add to the scene.  I have quilted the grey one but still need to quilt the red one.  Once it is quilted I will add the windows. 

There is a lot more to come!

LEAVES & NUTS

Love building trees......have fused down the trunk and added leaves and a few nuts.  Will quilt these down before beginning the bark and adding more leaves. 

Today is a day to stay in the warm studio.  The high winds and cold temperatures make indoor work the perfect solution.  This is definitely a full winter like day.  I have a feeling this is going to be the harsh winter that is being predicted because it is beginning early just like last year.  So getting out the gloves, mitten, scarves and hats today.

Its All About the Details

 Above you will see I added a fence...it is green but you can not see that in this photo....lighting in studio today is bad due to very cloudy day.

 I want to add some fir trees so loosely sketched them on a piece of fused fabric.

Here is the fabric choice I used...sometimes you find fabric that you plan on using on water or a prairie and it works well in many other uses.

 Once cut out I place them on the hilside........and then

 Quilt!   Here is one finished, the other unfinished.   I love YLI Forest 24V 40wt Cotton thread for doing evergreens. It is a variegated thread that is wonderful for needles on pines.

Once the pines were finished I added the foreground trees that go in front of them.    See how this is coming together fast.  Not bad for two days work.  Stay tuned though...more is to come.
