Hand Quilted, Ridged, Winter Landscape

Create a small A5 or A4 winter landscape using running, whipped, and single/double whipped/laced running stitches. You will be shown how to draw contour and radiating lines on the pattern provided and how to use the stitches to create ridges and outlines on your landscape. The border can be quilted using a basketweave pattern or you can add a patterned fabric.  For the sky and loch you can use transparent fabrics.
