No, this is not a new tablecloth. This is batting and under that a backing for a quilt. An ART quilt. YEAH!
It has been percolating for a while, but what finally got me over the top was my Sister-in-Law's status update on facebook. She lives in Parkerville and is really good with a camera. She also has a nature show right outside her door. She posted some pictures of deer, racoons, and wild hogs that came right up to her porch. Really good pictures.
As with all great ideas, this one had to be scratched out on a scrap of paper. As with all great ideas scratched out on scraps, no one understands it but the scratcher. That's okay, I got this.
This pic doesn't do justice to this fabric. It will be the background. There is another layer of orange/yellow, so there will be (sort of) a sky and a reflection.
These also are prettier in person. These will also make up parts of the background, as well as some water, trees and other landscape components. The animals will come after much of the landscape is down.
If you think this is all vaguely familiar, you're right! This will be the second in what I hope becomes a series. The first is Secret of the Suwannee.

This one will be the St. Mary's River, where I grew up. It will have some similarities to the first river quilt, I think that's what makes it a series. Also some new things. Will there be wild hogs? hmm...have ta wait and see.
