Donna Cherry. Her landscape quilts are not anything like I would make but they were beautiful!
This was a challenge quilt using a vintage block. The block she turned into the hammock.
You could feel the "chill" in this one!

First Friday Featured Quilter
Last night was First Friday at Quiltworks in Bend and as I've mentioned before after my personal First Friday event I like to go and be supportive of other quilters. The featured quilter was
Donna Cherry. Her landscape quilts are not anything like I would make but they were beautiful!
I recognized this right away as a local place that rock climbers and hikers spend a lot of time; Smith Rock.
I dropped by on my way home and although I didn't hike, I breathed some fresh air and cleared my head. It was a great way to end an afternoon.

Donna's Landscape quilts are gorgeous! I especially appreciate the quilting and how it works with her quilt design. Thanks for sharing, they are beautiful! Breath in some of that mountain air for me, I miss it so much!
ReplyDeleteThose quilts are amazing! I don't think I would even try to make a landscape quilt. We have been to Smith Rock a few years ago when my granddaughter and son took a climbing lesson. It is a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteWow, so, so wonderful quilts. All of them.

ReplyDeleteAmazing what some people can create, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful quilts and i would love to do some in the future.

Outstanding, hard to believe they are not paintings. Such talent.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts! I love your new quilt Remember Me, I really like the fabric you pick out for it. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe in the artistry that some people have especially with scenic quilts. It's not a place my talent or lack of it would ever take me LOL!! but I do admire their work!! I especially love the 'owl' quilt!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even begin to try to create a scenic quilt myself, but I admire the talent of those who can create such realistic pictures from fabric. That's a unique skill. Thanks for sharing these gems.
ReplyDeleteI could never make one but sure can enjoy and appreciate her work! I loved them all!
ReplyDeleteThe featured quilter is certainly very talented. I like the one with the hammock and the winter scene.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Quilts! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletethe burning bush piece is amazing, it has so many layers to it. I remember meeting Donna and said to her " I'll be able to say, I knew her when..." I could see something very special in her work. Congrats to her and thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilts. Thanks for the show.
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing quilts. So realistic it is incredible.
ReplyDeleteLovely little quilt show for a Sunday. That first quilt reminds me of the Deschutes River. My husband and I used to enjoy walked along the windy path the Deschutes meandered. Thank you for the delightful photos!
ReplyDeleteLori, it looks like it was a nice little show. I'd love to get over there next week!
