The Virtual QuiltOut

I have been following The Virtual Paintout for some time now. I keep thinking that it would be fun to participate in the paintout using fiber as my "paint." Each month there is a different place to explore on Google Street View.

Napa Valley in California was chosen for June of 2016. I explored many places and finally settled on Castello di Amorosa. Here's the link for my street view. https://goo.gl/maps/Q7VGELRB5yB2 


Using DreamScope.com I used the 'watercolor' filter to paint my fabric by sending it through the printer. Then I layered the top, batting, and backing together and quilted it +/- 1/8" with Superior Thread. It's faced, labeled and mounted on black mat board.

This is the same picture, only I zoomed in for a closer shot and used the 'angle hair' filter in DreamScope to 'paint' my fabric and then free motion quilted it.
