Gloria Loughman Landscape Workshop

[Renata L.]

Nice looking piece, glad you had fun & finished it.

I'm not finishing my piece because I more or less ruined it at the class trying to get as far on it as possible (as Renata knows). But I really got a LOT out of the technique practice but mostly her instruction on color. It was a fabulous class. I highly recommend it if you ever have the chance.

Lovely piece, Renata! Very serene!

[Renata L.]

Thank you, Lorchen! Hope all is well with you at school and that you get to play a bit with your quilting!

[Hannelore N.]

Thanks, Renata. Right now we are having a one-week half-term holiday, and I seem to be busier than during school time. Since my son moved back to this area I see a lot more of my little granddaughter and then I had to pack in routine appointments, like Mammogram and cervical smear test. I'll go back to school on Monday for a rest.

[Renata L.]

I can relate to that, Lorchen! Enjoy Monday at work (Now that doesn't sound right, does it? the words enjoy, Monday and work all in the same sentence). :lol: :?

Thank you Linda. I need to get back to trying her technique again in a new project--you just put me back on track! :lol:

Renata stunning quilt

Hi Renata,

Haven't seen your landscape quilt until recently I really like it! I'm considering a landscape wall hanging over a bed instead of hanging a picture. I've purchased Karen Eckmeier's Accidental Landscapes book, now I'm wondering if I should purchase one of Gloria Loughman's books too!

Thanks for posting!

Barb,
thanks for your nice comment. That landscape quilt is tiny and simple because it is what I made in the workshop I attended with Gloria Loughman (a delightful teacher, by the way) a couple of years ago in Philadelphia. I have all three of her books because I love browsing through them--colors and composition are inspiring to me. I think her technique is worth learning because there is so much you can do with the backgrounds she creates and the technique is not difficult to execute. Now that Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 is back on the market, I'm looking forward to playing with making tiles as she does again. Funny, I've been thinking about picking up Karen Eckmeier's book!

[Betty J.]

I have been thinking of this workshop lately, thinking of using it in one of my quilts for 2015, and wondering if there is an appropriate Go! die that would work well for the tiles she uses. If one could cut a bunch of those at one time, it would really help the process.
