Why are people disliking this video ITS GREAT really helped if you dont like it get over it no need to dislike it there is nothing wrong with it very informative
Super freaking awesome tutorial!!! I LOVE the tool. That little shark cuts like a DREAM!! I love love love it. Thanks for another fantastic tutorial! :)
I used to watch Bob Ross with a girlfriend that painted----I don't paint. But, I piece and quilt and I love this idea. I just don't have much of an imagination so I would have to follow someone to do it!!
Thank you so much for this video! I love appliqué art quilts and this and your self portrait idea are similar to what I really want to do. Thanks for your help! I'm a happy subscriber!
Rob, I like this landscaping. It's funny because I was just thinking about doing something with landscape in it. Different blocks, different landscapes. Thanks for sharing. :) Now, all I have to do is figure out the supplies I'll need.
thank you again,. This tutorial inspired me to think "outside the box" by using a fusible interfacing/stabilizer to create my own saiboat and create a quilt block; the fabric sews very nicely. I still have my water portion remaining, but just wanted to thank you. I thought I could share a pic, but that's ok. thank you for your tutorials.
Very cool! I like this freestyle method. I am making a wall hanging with a big tree, birds in the tree, and flowers on the ground. This really helped me; I can add some hills and pine trees in the background! I am not using templates, except for the tree; I want to freestyle it and just let my creativity flow. I have discovered that I am too dependent on patterns and I want to be a little more creative. Thanks a bunch and keep the videos coming! I really enjoy them. My momma taught me to sew years ago, but she did not teach me all these cool artistic things!
Hey Rob. because of your tutorials I have finished 3 quilts and am working on a celtic pattern and am free style in the large areas in the center of the squares. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Thank you for all your teachings. My husband loves watching you, also. I am teaching him to piece and quilt!! He is a natural as he built two of our homes---one was a cabin in the mountains of the Sierras.
wow I love this!!! keep doing landscape quilts so we can learn more of your tips and use what you have taught us already in different situations. Keep them coming! great positive energy too.
I can't thank you enough for showing this!! I've always wanted to do landscape quilts but I didn't know how to start or what to do. You have really made me feel like it's relatively easy to do. Could you please show how you see it together? Your tips are always good & I'm sure you would give great advice on doing it the best way possible. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try these!!!
See? There you go being fabulous again... making imagination run rampant! I did a wall hanging years ago that was similar but add elk, bear and moose... Surely could have used that cutter!!! I feel another wall hanging coming on! Thanks Rob for all you do... this is complete awesomeness!
I have learned SO much from you, and you have helped me relax and try new landscape ideas, as well as stained glass applique ideas. But I must know, because nobody else anywhere seems to know and you know everything: how can I applique fog? I want to add fog to a mountainous or ocean landscape, but cutting it out is just too solid. I need wispy fog. Thanks for any idea you might have!
Hi Rob. Hoping you can help me. I am making a throw landscape quilt with applique pieces on top of a pieced background. There are many applique pieces, many small. I would like to use a stabilizer behind the background fabric so that I can stitch the appliques on top to stabilize them prior to putting all the sections together and then making the quilt sandwich for top quilting. What stabilizer would you recommend? I would prefer to avoid having to tear away or cut away alot of stabilizer and was wondering if the washable stabilizer would work. would that type of stabilizer be ok to leave in with the quilt sandwich? I did try asking the nice folks at MSQ but customer service had no idea what to use. Love your tutorials and keep up the good work:)
Excellent video and techniques! Very simple and easy to follow. I just follow a different colour idea: the farther away something is, the lighter the colour. As you get closer to the foreground, the darker/more intense the colours get, the more detail I add. Does that make sense?
I just bought a Shark Applicutter rotary cutter online, but it doesn't seem to cut as easily and cleanly as yours does, Rob. Are your blades sharper for some reason or are you bearing down really hard while you're cutting?
I am not an artist at all but would love to do this. I have trouble with scaling and shading items. Any tips on how to do this or should I take an art class? LOL!
I love your enthusiasm! You've inspired me to work on my "UFO'S" this Fall and Winter! Especially my landscaping quilts! And we loved you in Florence, Oregon! You ARE an amazing teacher/Dr. :)
The cutter is currently out of stock, but we will be getting them back in stock hopefully before April. If you follow the link in the description you can add the Shark Applicutter to your wishlist and as soon as we get them back in we will send you an email to notify you! :)
Hi Rob, I have two landscape quilts to make for friends. One is part of a queen size quilt. As you know I zigzagged the lion quilt recently, but don't want to do that on these art quilts. Do you think the raw edges will hold with straight stitching in the wash, or should I plan to toole over the top? I'm so glad I have my Sharky. Jane D.
Hi Jane! There is a good chance that the edges will fray in the wash so the tule is a great work around to satin stitching eveything. It may still fraye a bit, but the threads should stay nice under the netting. Hope you have fun creating this with your Sharky! :)
When you quilt the applique, are you ignoring the outer edges of each applique piece? If so, wouldn't this encourage the appliqued pieces to start fraying at the edges? Or do you cover the entire quilt with tulle fabric before quilting?
Hi Rob Appell, what is the type of paper you used on the back of the fabric and did you iron your pieces in place after removing the paper? Thank you for the intro to this type of appliqué.
love love love your teachings rob. I hope you can help with my question and possibly do a tutorial on this. I like to paint, and emborder...and of course quilt. I like to use intricate coloring book pages as my transfer. For instance , we have work horses to do our farmwork, and i have found a coloring book with these horses that are working in a field, and they have very intricate pieces to the harnes that they are wearing. and colors, and bridals, and very thin lines. I want to make a quilt with these pages. what is the best way to transfer, cut and sew all of this? Please help!!!
Love it! always wanted to make an "art" quilt but never had courage. NOw I can attempt to make one. I enjoy all other quilt tutorials of you put out. Keep up your good tutorials for people like me. "Strawberry" Jewel
Next video - show us the fusing process you use - and the free motion/thread painting process for this project. Cutting out the shapes and setting the scene is great, but how do you put it all together on the background?
Rob, I love watching you do any of your video's. I get so motivated after I have viewed them. This one really did it for me, but I was wondering if you can guide me to "how to stitch " these once they are cut/layed out. Do you have a video on that if not can you show us how! Want one of your Shark Applicuters and as soon as they come in I will order.
I enjoy your videos and I have one suggestion that you may already have made but while watching this video I kept screaming at you to make yourself a portable design board. It would have come in handy when you kept moving the project back and forth. Thanks from Canada!
Thanks for the great video, for I've been wanting to do a wall quilt with hard and soft scape in it. Here's a suggestion for your background fabric, take some freezer paper and iron it to the back of your fabric, it will give you some stability while you are creating your landscape and can be removed later, this is one of the ways for hand Appliqué.
We are hoping to have the Shark Applicutter back in stock by April. Put it on your wishlist (follow the link in the description) and we will send you and email as soon as it comes off the truck!
