Sonoma Wine Country Travel Poster

Way back in August 2005, I joined the Quilt Art list travel poster challenge. The deadline is next week and I suppose that I would have a good excuse to bow out, but I forged ahead. This is sort of a larger version of my vineyard postcards. It is 8 inches by 12 inches. I have fused strips of fabric for the vineyards. I did a fused binding because I was having too much trouble trying to do my usual zigzag edge. I love the geometry and graphic quality of the vineyards that you see every where in Sonoma county. They are on flat land and on hills and always have a backdrop of the mountains. I added the hot air balloon for color and a focus. I noticed in my closeup photo that I have loose threads, but I must move on – this is done!!

Now, I must finish packing up my studio. I got 6 boxes done yesterday.

    Love the travel poster. I wonder if next year you will be doing deep green forests or lovely waterfalls?
    I shudder to think of the work involved in packing up a studio! Pace yourself 🙂 Probably the most important part will be labeling, so you can set up your new studio quickly. Jen

    I LOVE your series of vineyards (especially because I’m holding one in my hands right now)!

    Another inspiration Gerrie! I love it…really captures the feeling of Sonoma County!
    Tell me about your fused binding, as opposed to the zig zag. I’m unfamiliar with both.
    Great job on the packing!!! Nose to the grindstone dear girl…M & M are waiting and counting on you!!
