    Thank you, I always wanted to paint pictures and was never very good at it at all. lol, But using fabric seems a lot easier. It took a lot of time to sketch out the basic picture and search all over for the right fabrics, Not enough choices for landscapes, If you can find fabric for rocks or water etc, then they are never the correct size or color for the picture Grrrrr! I tested for colorfastness and used oil pastels for some shading. That helped, But it was a labor of love, I really enjoyed doing it I think the worst is yet to come, I can't use the machine to finished quilting it. :^{
