Several years ago, our daughter took us on a little tour of the Smoky Mountains, close to where she lives. It was cold up there and a tiny bit of snow lay on the ground in spots. I was very excited about the long vistas and took many photos. The receding hills fading into the distance absolutely enchanted me . This is one of my favourite shots. I love the contrast between the soft, delicate colours in the background and the raggedy weeds in the foreground against the stark skeletons of dead conifers.
I need a new landscape to use as a sample for a Landscape class I hope I will be teaching in the fall. This will be the project so I thought I would show you the process I use over several posts. This will be a combination of turned , stitched edge applique and fused. Hope you enjoy it!

Here , I have drawn my pattern on freezer paper and I have made a duplicate pattern to give to the printer for my class.As you see, it is very basic- not a lot of detail. |

I will take the bottom off this big piece of paper and use it to make my pattern for the middle ground silhouette of the evergreens |

There we are, all traced from my original drawing, note added to add 2.5 inches to that pattern piece . |

The next step will be to number the pieces and choose fabrics. Watch this space!
