Sylvia didn't take pictures of her first two mini landscapes from the class but did work on her third one at home and I just LOVE it! Once the whole piece landscape was completed, she did some machine quilting, then pencil crayons to sketch in the trees in the background and the reflections in the water along with the grasses in the foreground. Then she cut the piece into three and shortened the two on the end and backed them pillow slip style and will join them together once the tops are closed and add a hanger on the back. So simple yet soooo artistically pleasing. This was made from a 9 X 12 inch mini landscape built from strips of fabric. I LOVE TAKING CLASSES!!!
Also here's one of Len, Sylvia and their middle daughter Pat with her two kids, Amanda and Byran. Sylvia and Pat are the two I go with to the Gimli Resort Hotel in February for a quilting retreat and have an awesome time together.
And last, but not least, the commissioned hanger she made out of the T-shirts from a fellow festival goer who passed away and donated them back to the festival for displaying. It was her first and probably last one like this as she found out even with bonding that working with the stretch fabrics was very difficult. It looks good!!! As usual a job well done Sylvia!
