I also agree with minimalism...dense quilting would distract. I'd suggest sticking to vertical lines...perhaps just outlining the trees -- and maybe the piper silhouette -- would be sufficient. I often get criticized for not doing more quilting on my work, but I believe in letting the piece tell me what it wants rather than following current trends just because everyone else is.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-15937500794742595942014-05-24T20:23:54.500-04:002014-05-24T20:23:54.500-04:00I was hoping you'd stick to invisible thread o...I was hoping you'd stick to invisible thread on this. I think it needs very careful and subdued quilting in order not to detract from the ethereal mood you've created. A few virtual trees might work. You might do foreground stitching resembling short grass, clumps of it perhaps. Or just some wavy lines running "downhill" to suggest topography.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-81310515167411291902014-05-24T11:21:56.961-04:002014-05-24T11:21:56.961-04:00Beautiful!!!

I know what I'd do but it really doesn't matter what I'd do, right? Your work is beautiful, just take a moment with this moody piece. <br />leeAnna Paylor<br />lapaylor.blogspot.comLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-52251372953570803642014-05-23T12:30:31.630-04:002014-05-23T12:30:31.630-04:00Love Misty Morning!

Recently found a couple of strips in my scrap bag.

But in this case I would nix that "rule" and let the misty fog come forward....and outline quilt each tree and branch...all of them even the faint ones as best as you can. Ditto the piper. Foreground...just a few curve lines closely spaced following the contour will give you some depth. That's just my opinion....you will find the perfect stitching for it I am sure.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-69350019492656599022014-05-22T15:32:56.891-04:002014-05-22T15:32:56.891-04:00Nancy, that is really odd.
