(my etsy shop)



This is my favorite kind of quilt to make - which is why I call myself landscapelady :-)
The inspiration for this quilt was taken from a view from route 7 going towards vergennes Vermont.
The freestyle part of this? I felt it needed something at the bottom for balance, so I took a piece of rug netting ( not sure of the term for it, but it's the base used for rug hooking)
And I used locker hooking to add fabric strips and yarn to "the fence"


Happy Quilting!

Great idea to incorporate rug hooking to your quilt. I never would have thought of that. It opens up a world of possibilities.

Above is a good video on how to locker hook, it's really fun. You can get the at Joanne's although I had to get it thru online Joanne's, would be good tile play
