"Prairie" Landscape Quilt by Nancy ZiemanLandscape quilting breaks many quilting rules and is quite liberating as a result. It’s okay to cut inaccurately, in fact, it’s often recommended. Glue sticks are used instead of pins, and the pattern is not a pattern at all, just a photo! Natalie Sewell taught Nancy Zieman her spontaneous technique many years ago, and they share their simple techniques with you on Beginning Landscape Quilting Part Three on Sewing With Nancy.

Beginning landscape Quilting Natalie Sewell and Nancy Zieman

After making hundreds of landscape quilts, Natalie has learned to fine-tune the process. In this series Nancy and Natalie focus on specific elements within scenes. In the quilt, Prairie, you’ll see distant and close-up coneflowers. Designing a scene such as this might seem daunting, yet you’ll soon learn how you too can become a landscape quilter.

    I have always been drawn to the colors of fall. They are so vibrant and yet so calming. That is the scene I will be creating.

    Living in Northern California there are so many beautiful areas. My favorite time is spring when the almonds are in bloom & surrounding fields are full of mustard blooms. I have taken many photos with plans of making a quilt. Now that I see how easy it is I would love to get started.

    I’ve always loved landscape quilts but have never attempted one. Maybe with the wonderful colors of autumn in New England as inspiration, I’ll try one.

    Summer with the wonderful colors. You make the process look easy. However, I still have the fear of cutting up lots of fabrics and not finding the right ones to convey the feeling of the season. Time to get my feet wet. Thanks for book offer; it will be an encouraging resource along with Nancy & Natalie’s videos.

  • Carolyn Prentice

    Fall would be my favorite season with its many colored leaves and hills that look like hand dyed fabric. Early Spring is my second favorite as the new plants..violets, tulips, Star of Bethlehem, Iris and Mayflowers come up through the snow. This is after a long winter and reminds you whew winter is finally over . I would love to win the Landscape book. Thanks for all Team Nancy does. I miss her so. Carolyn
