Whilst waiting for a suitable pattern for my reproduction quilt's appliqué border to appear to me :-)) - I decided to tackle one of my UFO's. It is a landscape quilt (approx. 28cm x 35cm) that I am making from a photograph taken in Kleinmond South Africa - the Western Cape - whilst on holiday there a couple of years ago.


In 2006 I was lucky to follow a workshop with British landscape artist Margaret M. Roberts which I thoroughly enjoyed. During that day I managed to do the basics, enlarging the design, bringing it over on a backing fabric and pick some of the fabrics. That is how it ended up on my wall and that is how I took it down a couple of days ago.

Every day since I have tried playing with my landscape for a few hours and have since changed some of the fabrics as one cannot take all once fabric to a workshop especially since this is the very first landscape quilt I am attempting to make. It has been great fun playing with fabric and embellishments that I might use. This is how far I have come today.



Enkele jaren geleden heb ik het geluk gehad om een workshop te volgen met Margaret Roberts en ben toen gestart met het maken van een landschapsquiltje. Voor bijna drie jaar heeft het aan mijn ontwerpmuur gehangen en nu heb ik uiteindelijk besloten er iets mee te doen. Tot nu toe heb ik elke dag een uur of twee kunnen besteden aan dit landschapje en het uitermate genoten. De foto is genomen in de West-Kaap Zuid Afrika gedurende een verlof daar.
