I have gotten the Irish Cottage foundation stage completed. Since a trip to grandchild will be coming up at the end of next week, I am letting the cottage sit for bit. The next stage of quilting will be quite intricate as I plan to add in a lot of shading etc as I proceed. Once I start quilting, I like to work continuously over a number of days to completion. That just isn't going to be possible before I leave town, so the cottage is resting. This will be the last you see of it for a bit.
Resting is a good thing. It gives me time to contemplate and revise. I have already changed one of the shrubbery fabrics since this photo was taken and added on in some other areas. I have the cottage on a portable design wall that is now sitting in our dining room area. I pass by it many times a day and consider tweaks as I glance at it.
Ohhh this is coming lovely Judy - I love how the stone looks like you can touch it! Off the Wall Friday Art quilt link up is open on my blog if you care to join in!
ReplyDeleteJudy I just LOVE this piece!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be spectacular, Judy. And I just love that wide sky!
ReplyDeleteLovely work so far, Judy. A good place to rest the eyes as well.
ReplyDeleteI love this cottage! I am looking forward to watching the progress on this piece.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh...it's coming along great! Have fun with your grandchild!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, very Irish countryside! (As I imagine it, having never been there!)
ReplyDeleteIt's already a beautiful layout. The stitching part should be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think that you pass by and see this over and over is one of the best things to do -- to live with it, to see it from different distances, and to see what catches you eye. It is so important to read the composition over and over. Good going.
