Just finished the top of a Seaside quilt for my grandson's first big boy bed:) I cannot wait to start quilting and adding embellishments! This is a first and would love to learn more!

I am heading to Boulder the week of June 12th. I am a weaver and quilter. Can anyone recommend lessons or classes to take at that time?

I made a landscape quilt from a trip and used the inspiration picture (printed on fabric) on the back as a label. I printed all the info (where it was, date of trip, finish date of quilt, etc) under the picture. It made a very nice label.

Inspiring! I haven't made many landscape quilts yet but this article and the preview of Judith's dvd have inspired me.

My latest play time with landscapes was doing seasons by one color, two at most. Simplifying the colors sets a mood for the scene. Fall is my favorite! I have posted a pic to the QA page.

Wonderful hints and tips for landscapes, Judith. I can't wait to see your video!

When I make a landscape, I think of the "essence" of the place, and as Judith says, I simplify my work to reflect that essence. Sometimes, that means most of the foreground is removed, and replaced by texture through quilting. Other times, the background becomes less prominent, and is obscured. But always, I include dense, close quilting, that often represents furrows in the ground or wind through the vegitation.

Both of my quilts on this blog post use the quilted stitch as a way to represent either wind or plowed fields.
