I think I am scheduled to have a Landscape Quilt class. I've been working on it. Will post lesson plan and supplies list later this month.

Canahavana has graciously agreed to host the PDF files for the projects on her web site.

Stay tuned!

Deanne - there isn't really a recipe for the blueberry shortcake. This is what I do: Preheat oven to 450F. Make biscuit dough (I use my recipe for low fat cottage cheese biscuits - I'll include the recipe below...). Divide the dough into three pieces - one large and two smaller pieces. Roll the large piece out and line an 8x8 cakepan with it so that it completely covers the bottom and sides with some draped over the edge. (Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray before putting the dough in!) Roll out the smaller pieces so that they will just fit in the 8x8 pan - but set aside for now. For the blueberry filling I used one 600g (~1.3lb.) tub (the size of a large margarine tub) of frozen wild blueberries, thawed; one pint of fresh cultivated blueberries; 2T corn starch; 1/2 cup sugar. Combine the berries, sugar and cornstarch and heat in microwave until they are very hot. (You need to have the filling hot when it goes into the pan or else it takes too long in the oven to heat up and the center layer of dough doesn't cook!) To assemble - put half the hot berry mixture in the dough-lined pan. Place one of the smaller dough pieces that you rolled out earlier on top. Add the rest of the berries on top of that. Then put the final piece of dough on the top. Fold over the edges of the bottom dough layer that were hanging over the edge of the pan. Bake at 450F for ~20-22 minutes. The filling may bubble over so I usually put a sheet of aluminium foil on the bottom of the oven! Serve warm or cold - but warm is better! (If the filling bubbles over, the end product may look a bit messy but it tastes great!) You can also make strawberry shortcake the same way. Wild strawberries is what Grandma used (it was my sister and my job to pick them!) Since wild strawberries are a bit(!) hard to come by these days, I use cultivated ones but chop them into small pieces. As with the blueberries, get the strawberries hot in the microwave before adding them to the dough. ----- Low Fat Cottage Cheese Biscuits Heat oven to 450 F 1 ½ cups flour ½tsp. salt 2 ½ tsp. baking powder 1/8 cup cold butter 1 egg 1 cup low fat (1%) cottage cheese ~ ½ cup milk Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Add 1T. sugar if you want to make sweet biscuits or plan to make cobbler (or blueberry shortcake). Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or fork. Make a well and add the egg and cottage cheese. Mix together and add enough milk to form a soft dough that sticks together. How much milk you need will depend on how much liquid is in the cottage cheese. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat out to ~ 1/2- ¾ inches thick. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or water glass. Space biscuits slightly apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes at 450 F. If you prefer soft-sided biscuits, place the biscuits close together on the cookie sheet or in a cake pan (which is what I do)

September Landscape Quilt Class - Lesson Four

Q

How do you sew on the really thin borders? I tried that on my Tuscan landscape and had the hardest time and the border came out wonky. Do you cut a wider piece of fabric and trim, or just use a 1" strip for a 1/2" border? On Sail Away I found a nice blue batik for the border, the only one of all of my audition fabrics I liked! --Amy

You are all most welcome! I hope what I posted was easy enough for everyone to follow. Once you have made one, the next step is to make your own original design - that's when the real fun starts! You should see the fabric fly when I'm working on one of these. I've done several others for gifts that were done before I had a digital camera. Have fun! Teresa

Lillie,
Some monthly classes were organized by Jennifer (mrseldoo) in July. There will be one class per month and I'll list the schedule below. There may have been a change with the class conducted by Jennifer.

The teacher puts the available information on a post in this forum and each member that wants to follow along does so ather own speed. Questions about the technique are welcome and further explanation from the teacher is available. It is hoped that each student will complete the class project by the end of the month and post a pic if possible of her finished project.

August: Amy- new2quilting- Redwork class
Project- pincushion or ornament

September: teresa_nc7- Teresa- Minature Landscapes
Project- choice of two small landscapes

October: Toolgranny- Linda- hexagon kaleidoscope
Project- quilt

November: Jennifer-mrseldoo- Hand Applique
Project- heart wall-hanging or table runner

December: teresa_nc7- Teresa- Scrap Quilting Class

Hope this helps!
Teresa

I didn't sign up for the September class but I would like to now. I had so much fun with Amy's class that I want to try more new stuff and your project says "small". I can hardly wait to get started.

The Landscape class will teach you to layer fabrics onto a foundation to "build" a landscape - a beach/shore scene, lakeside scene, mountain view, lighthouse scene, winterscape, etc. I'll also provide instruction on how to take a scene that you have photographed or found in a calendar, greeting card, internet image, etc. and make it into a Landscape Quilt.

The class projects will be small wall quilts, but once you learn the technique you can make larger quilts too.

Here are some examples I have made:
(please pardon my early photo skills...I did improve!)

I want to be a student--albeit a novice--and perhaps a dunce. I am very interested in landscape quilts. This sounds fun.
