Here are two landscapes that I made using hand dyed fabrics and one fabric that I was challenged to use as it represents one of my first quilts.
The first is all hand dyed fabric. I dyed some of it and I got the other from an internet friend.
Next up is the one with the challenge fabric. See if you can find it in the photo before you read anymore.
The big clue is that it is the one that isn't hand dyed.
The Red/Pink? dotted fabric has been in my stash since my early quilting days.
I think it adds a bit of whimsy to this imaginary landscape.

In other news, a certain lady in my life had a birthday party.
She is 89 and she means the world to me.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
And with Mom's lovely face, I link with the Friday Face Off.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

Happy birthday, MOM! You are so beautiful. Gene, you look like your mom. I love, love, love, the landscape quilting. The hand dying does the trick for sure. Thank you for sharing you mom with FFO.
What a creative and meaningful way to explore your fabric collection—blending hand-dyed pieces with a nod to your quilting beginnings adds both beauty and personal history to your landscapes
Cool landscapes and happy birthday to your Mom!
Those landscapes are fabulous Gene. And Happy birthday to your Mom. I hope she had a wonderful celebration. Happy rest of the month to you.
...Happy Birthday, mom.
Lovely landscapes and happy 89th to your lovely mom!
Your first one looks like Australia´s Outback, oh, would I like to have that! (I sent a book, worth €11, to Australia, fee was €20!)
Your Birthday-Lady is so beautiful!!! And fun!
Have a wonderful day, Gene!

Love the landscapes Gene.
Beautiful work as always, Gene. And Happy Birthday to your fabulous Mom!
I am happy to see your gorgeous MOM! She appears to be a very healthy 89er.
Happy Birthday to your amazing Mom! She looks so well and very happy, Gene. Your landscape pieces are fantastic. I saw one the mimicked the mountains in a doctor's office this week. By the way, I found the correct fabric. It is obviously not hand dyed but it works well in your piece.
Your quilts remind me of sand art. Remember that? lol Happy Belated Birthday to your precious momma.
I like your fabric art! Hawaii has a great tradition of quilting with unique local patterns. Thanks for your comment. Aloha!
Happy Birthday to your Mom! Love your landscape experiment and the one done for the challenge...always fun!
I love both your landscapes! And the way you added the pink dot in was perfect.
How pretty your mother is! I wish her the very best! What a blessing.
I really like both your landscapes, and the way you added in the pink dot challenge fabric was clever! Your mom looks like a treasure! So glad you have each other. I miss my other every day.
Happy birthday to your mom!
The landscapes are beautiful, I really like them. The fabrics really make these "paintings". Very beautiful art, Gene.
