Big Tree Project



Update below.
This is the first of the four panels (spring, summer, fall, winter) of the same basic tree/landscape form.  the leaves on the autumn tree are cut out with pinking sheers from painted silk paper.  There will be a lot more leaves, but i didn't see a lot of point to pinning them all on ..  you can get the point.  i think the spring flowers will be washaway lace and the summer leaves crocheted .  but i'm not sure of that yet.  each piece is about 19 inches square,  so the whole thing with some dividers will be 80 inches.

I removed the earlier picture and replaced it with the finished Autumn section.

Trees, More..

Not done much on the big tree quilt project, but decided to work also on a 52-tree postcards for the year.  You can see them here. In general, one a week, but as ideas come: might as well get ahead for when one has guests and no sewing much gets done.

It helps to be thinking about trees, thinking about ideas regularly, I find.
