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.
