Just thought you might be interested in seeing my progress from last Wednesday. This is the wall hanging I started in Gloria Loughman's class. Her technique has five layers. The layers in this pattern included a sky, a hill with rocks, a flat area with a river, a lake or ocean and an underwater scene.I have not completely finished my layers yet. I am still a little hesitant about the ocean or lake part. I don't know if I am happy with the colours that I used. Maybe I am being too critical and have to take some time away from this thing in order to see it differently. I also have to read Gloria's instructions again. I think each layer is machine appliqued, embellished and quilted before it is added to the rest of the quilt. The good part is that I have Gloria's email address in case I don't understand her instructions. But I think I will figure it out. Hopefully I will be able to show you a finished wall hanging in January. For now I think I will have to put this one aside and work on my Christmas projects. Sew many quilts! Sew little time!

Hi..
This quilt looks so great and i am very impressed. Looks difficult though!!
Your piece is GORGEOUS Hetty. You are being way too hard on yourself. I've been sick for the past week and haven't had a chance to move forward with mine. (Sigh!). I can't wait to start experimenting beyond Gloria's pattern.
I have never seen anything done like this before. It almost looks like a painting with water colors. SO pretty.
i love the quilt it remains me of paintings of my grandad.
Your quilt is amazing, I don't know if I would have the patience, great job.
Your project looks beautiful. Well done!
Wow, this looks amazing. I can't wait to see the finished piece.
This looks amazing - very complex ... I love it and I agree with Cheryl - your being way too hard on yourself!
