How to create a landscape quilt by Nancy Zieman and Natalie SewellTwo of my favorite hobbies are sewing and gardening. Almost 20 years ago, I was introduced to landscape quilting techniques by Natalie Sewell, nationally known landscape quilt artist. Natalie and I became best friends and scheduled two or three quilting dates each year. During the three-part Sewing With Nancy series, Beginning Landscape Quilting, we simplify the process so that everyone interested can enjoy the pleasure of creating outdoor scenes in fabric.

Beginning landscape Quilting Natalie Sewell and Nancy ZiemanHere’s a blog exclusive quilting tutorial on how I created the scene, Wolf River Woods.

  • A photo was used as the inspiration for the design. Obviously, I did not interpret the design literally—it’s used as a guideline.

  • The hand-dyed background fabric sets the mood for the scene—a sunny autumn day. The leaf and tree fabric choices seem to echo the colors playing across the canvas.

  • Work on a design wall. For me it’s a layer of flanneland Quilted Iron Quick sewn like a large pillow (without the pillow form) and a casing added at the top, through which I insert a curtain rod. This design wall is portable, although I keep mine hung year ’round.
  • Three brown trees, one fat and two skinny, are the first elements in the quilt. I roughly cut out the trees and glued them to the background fabric with a paper glue stick. No worries, the glue dries fast and clear and will not gum up your sewing machine.

  • Add texture to the trees by cutting strips of the remaining two bark fabrics and gluing them to the tree trunks. One of the fabrics had a splendid knothole, which I cut out and glued to the fattest tree. After deciding that the light came from the left, I shaded all three trees on the right with a black marking pen.

  • Next, I added dark branches to all three trees by cutting skinny strips of my darkest fabric.

  • I began the slow but satisfying process of adding leaves, carefully cut from the large leaf fabric depicted in the photo.

  • After adding many more leaves (mostly red but a few green) I messy cut the two ground cover fabrics, using both their right and wrong sides. To enhance the fall mood, I “diced” up a few of the red and gold leaves with my favorite scissors and sprinkled them on the ground cover. Notice how few leaves it takes to convey a wooded scene in fabric compared with the thousands a photograph would depict.

  • The design process continues after adding borders. A few leaves and branches in the border lend drama to the design.

Overview of the finishing steps

The landscape quilting bends many quilting rules. Messy cutting, fussy cutting, basting with a paper glue stick, and using the other right side of the fabric as well as the traditional right side are just a few of the ways that Natalie and I show you how to be creative with fabric.

After designing, tried ‘n true quilting techniques take over. The raw edges are basted down using free-motion techniques with clear thread in the needle, the quilt is squared, borders can be added, batting and backing are layered and then are stippled.

    I would like to do a snow scene. We have had an early snowfall this year and the trees were not quite rid of their leaves when it came so there was a dash of colour mixed with the snow that coated them. It made for a very striking photograph and I think it would make a stunning landscape quilt.

    It’s probably very over-ambitious for me, but I would love to try spring. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  • MaryLee

    I live in the low desert in the fall/winter/spring and the early spring would be my choice as the beautiful desert flowers, cactus’s color of the Gila Range Mt.’s are outstanding.
    Landscape quilting is something I’ve wanted to learn for a long time, been collecting fabric across the US just for this project, now to learn how to put it together.

  • Beverley Hancox

    I live in the incredibly beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate New York (waaay past the Hudson River!). I would do the view of the hills across the lake that is right outside my backdoor, one for each season.

  • Clovis
    October 11, 2016

    I think I still have the photo of snow on the trees on the way to Bloomington, Indiana to pick up my kids from school. The snow was so pretty on the trees. That would make a good quilt.

  • Debra

I like the sight of flowers growing in the Spring, the beautiful color of leaves in the fall, the first sign of frost on the trees in winter and the warm fell of the sun on my face in the summer. I am very interested in landscape but I just need to learn how to do it properly. I would love a chance to win this book and start on my journey of Landscape Quilting,

    I would love to try a winter landscape. The colors would work from Thanksgiving through to Spring working with the reds and grays and white would be beautiful hanging on a wall to brighten a room during the dull of the winter months. I have only made traditional quilts. Trying landscapes looks like fun. Thank you for the demonstration. Love your emails. I used to watch you in TV I do miss your programs. I learned so much. Thank you

    After watching Landscape Quilting on the Sewing with Nancy show earlier this year, I started a scene I saw from my window while vacationing in Park City, Utah this summer. I wanted to get back into art so this way a great way to do it and still get to sew. I did a summer scene but I love all the seasons. I think a winter scene would be especially amazing.

  • Donna Wentzel
    October 11, 2016

    I live in the most Northern part of Indiana. Lake Michigan is just a 30 minute drive so we visit often. I would like to try a winter scene with the waves crashing into and around the light house and rock pier in St. Joseph. When it is REALLY cold here…the most BEAUTIFUL ice formations form…even in mid air…as the wind blows the icy waters toward shore and these structures.

  • Florence Dupuis
    October 11, 2016

    Autumn at my cottage in Ontario is gorgeous, but so is summer. So many trees – it’s not called Woodland Beach for nothing! I’ve been planning some monochromatic art quilts, and my stash of greens is the biggest. I’d like to try blending the two ideas – using the greens to depict the woods in summer in a landscape quilt.

    I live in the sub-tropics so the beautiful colours of Autumn are only available through art. Thank you for showing us ‘how to’

    I live in the sub-tropics so the changing seasons are not as noticeable except through art. Thank you for this tutorial. I have been hunting for one to try my hand at doing a 4 Seasons quilt to hang on my dining room wall.

    What an inspiring demonstration of landscape quilting! I want to start by doing Autumn as I live by a beautiful river in a wooded valley and you have given me confidence to begin.
    Thankyou

    In Flagstaff Arizona, there is an area referred to as Aspen Corner. It is a beautiful area and would be wonderful to try this technique!! Thank you for the give-away.

    I would pick summer. Our neighborhood has lovely parks with pockets of gardens that I love to visit when taking a walk.

    I would love to try this and fall is my favorite season color wise. I would like to try using white birch like I lived around growing up in rural northern Michigan. We live in VA now and it is beautiful but birch trees are what I miss from home.

    I am looking forward to trying this twchnique. We have a family place in northern MN where the roads are packed sand and the trees meet over the roads. In the fall it is an amazing scene. Thank you for showing the original picture as well. It helps to see how to “simplify” the scene.

    I have a great picture of our cabin surrounded by cottonwoods glistening in the snow in winter. I think that would make a great quilt.

    Cape Cod is so beautiful, this would be my choice in any season with the ocean waves and birds that enjoy their home there all year long. Fall is nice there too. I love to visit and would like to make a landscape quilt to hang in my home. Thank you Nancy for the inspiration…

    I’m a mountain girl at heart. I would love to see mountain streams, waterfalls, redwood forests, deep forested fern glens etc.
    Thanks Nancy and Natalie. I am inspired by your work!

    I love birch trees, so I would incorporate birch trees in a pastoral scene including a waterfall and a fresh, sunlit field of flowers!
