Accidental Landscape Magic

[@christinenelson7021]

You have blown my mind with all the wonderful journey’s! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@perrygreek]

This kind of art is totally new for me! My chin just dropped!! Gorgeous, gorgeous works!!! I'm so happy to find you! Thank you!!

[@perrygreek]

@@donnamongelli1952 Thank you for the suggestion! I'll check it out!

[@Washiela]

Woww! 😳 - mouth open; eyes wide; heart beating fast with total excitement! What wonderful teaching you bring! I am a quilter, but having watched you, I do believe that I can be both quilter and artist (and use up all my scraps too 😉). Thank you! Thank you! ❤. You have a new subscriber. 😍 x

[@dojoisdead]

I've always wanted to know how to do this. It's so much easier than I thought it was. Ty

[@juliewerner9592]

I could watch this all day 😊

[@agnespaperandcrafts]

I wish I could give a 'like' for each transformation. Really magical and inspiring

[@farequellochecipare8180]

Dear Karen, YOU are magic!

[@tonibecker1567]

I love your presentation. You do the KZbin tutorial thing very well. You're so pleasant, inspiring, and creative. Awesome job and beautiful work!!

[@maryviti6799]

Oh my gosh! It does seem to be “magic”! Just stumbled into this video😉. I’ve worked on a few larger landscapes, and spent HOURS, HOURS trying to get the perfect color, shape, etc. Didn’t think I would ever create another one. Will be looking for your book tomorrow😀. Stay well. M🍀

[@yevalleywitch1572]

My very first attempt was with your Golf Courses pattern for my brother-in-law who is an avid golfer. He displays it prominently in his Office! I love, love, love your designs and your methodology of teaching.

[@ca6177]

so glad I found you! I was wondering how to do this! I love this! Thank you!

[@karen.eckmeier]

Thank YOU for all of your kind comments! Have fun with the techniques!

[@kathyk8652]

Stunningly beautiful AND simple....and indeed magical!!

[@ОльгаПахомова-ь5н]

Волшебные, выразительные картины! Вы прекрасный мастер!

[@TahtahmesDiary]

JUST sketched out a scene with rolling hills in the back, but haven’t taken the plunge to do it…and then here is your video ready to go! Amazing!

[@mysewingshenanigans5460]

Absolutely beautiful, I will make some!

[@bethmaldonado4200]

Truly magical! Thank you for sharing, I can’t wait to try this!!

[@missoffgrid6846]

Thankyou Karen for sharing your knowledge on this creative simple flow of textiles. I am very excited to try quilting for the first time without strict boundies involved. I love textile art as there is no need for functionality its all aesthetic.

[@stvnixrcks]

This is so incredible and has inspired me to want to create fabric landscapes, too!!

[@maryk9519]

Beautiful creations with fabric and love how you created the post card with leftover scraps. This has been very informative and gives me some ideas for making something unique for my sisters 60th birthday in the summer. Thank You for sharing this tutorial.

[@terrytulipane6916]

This is fabulous method of stylized art. You do beautiful work. I've been having fun with this concept for years with colored cardstock. Such an easy relaxing way for anyone to express themselves.

[@sherylsnow4193]

I'm five minutes in and already at my second "remarkable". I hope to try this creative art of layering in the near future. Thanks for sharing your gift!

[@hazelhands1]

WOW! your accidental landscapes are beautiful without a lot of tid bits I think I can do this thank you for the tutorial you make it look so easy so I purchased the book.

[@NJones-ny3uz]

This video is so inspirational and the host's enthusiasm and charm are delightful :) My imagination is sparked!

[@debbiedolan3143]

Thanks for the video. I have your book but have not tried a landscape yet. This has inspired me! It really does look easy.

[@karen.eckmeier]

You are very welcome....and YES, it really is quite easy. I hope you have fun.

[@karengarland9669]

I love all the different possibilities ❤

[@hummerklein4902]

This is amazing I’m mesmerized Thank you for sharing You have definitely inspired me I have done nothing sense my husband passed away in 2018 But this is grabbing me I love your work God bless thank you for your inspiration.

[@carolbickel5486]

So thankful I happened upon your video. Karen you have touched my imagination and made it look easy and a bit of fun at the same time. Have your book but never tried to make a landscape picture. Now I know that I can do it. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@carmenuzcategui4289]

Sra es una maravilla wueda como un hermoso paisaje,creativa😮❤😊

[@michellejohnson3867]

This is marvelous for me as a complete novice and beginner who wants to create memories in material of the favourite places I have been and loved, especially Scotland the Hebrides where their beauty, colours and wildness have enslaved my soul. I just need to figure out how to put the traditional white painted cottages, the black houses, 'Tigh Duhb's' into the landscapes. Thank you so much for making it look so easy xx

[@karen.eckmeier]

I'm glad you feel inspired now to capture your memories of Scotland. You could add the little cottages as photographs transferred to fabric, or simply create little cottages out of fabric and appliqué them. Raw edge appliqué is the easiest for the small details on Accidental Landscapes. Have fun!

[@chrisr7655]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!! 👏 THANK YOU FOR SHARING 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous and truly magical pieces of art. I learnt more in those 10 minutes than i did in a year of accidentally making fabric art and discovering that i could do it. 💖🙏

[@karen.eckmeier]

Thank you for those kind words!! Have fun creating landscapes accidentally!

[@QnCbyAiniWasti]

This is truly magical, I was looking for exactly this kind of art and your tutorial is amaaaaazing, will definitely try your tips

[@ruthstracener5362]

Thanks so much!! I watched this video and promptly bought the book on amazon and have made the first landscape block!!! This is perfect for nature textures and using up the fabric pieces I have. I love how your directions and samples are straight forward, interesting and easy to follow!!

[@DonnasCraftingWhimsy]

Congratulations that is awesome and encouraging to newbies like myself..You should post it

[@TahtahmesDiary]

[@jodigrzeczka6617]

This is amazing! I can't wait to get into my own stash to see what I can make! Thank you!

[@bonnieboehm3958]

OMG, It is so nice to see you online! I took a workshop with you years ago with the Milford (Pa) Valley Quilt Guild. I did the fall landscape pattern and got two for the price of one with the leftovers! It was so much fun to play around with the fabrics and it still one of my favorite pieces! I framed mine and gave the other to a senior lady, who loved it! Try the mini quilts-you will love doing them! And I’ll bet you cannot stop with one!! So good to see you again!

[@karen.eckmeier]

Thank you Bonnie for your wonderful comment

[@reginamathis9720]

This is absolutely awesome!!!! Thank you!

[@annettaculver9550]

Hi Karen. I love this concept. Thanks so much for sharing. I was wondering if I want to add people to the forefront of the landscape should I add the people on to my background before I add the landscape or would it work better to do it vice versa? Thanks.

[@karen.eckmeier]

Thank you Annetta! Any details get added AFTER the landscape is layered and topstitched. That way you have a better idea of the scale. Lots more info on that in my book "Accidental Landscapes" (available on my website kareneckmeier.com or amazon.com) Have fun creating accidentally!

[@annettaculver9550]

@@karen.eckmeier Thanks so much!

Looks so easy- but I am struggling to make a baby quilt version- where can I get your book?

[@karen.eckmeier]

The "Accidental Landscapes" book is available on amazon.com

[@laurasmith3293]

Amazing!!☺

[@warbabe81]

Absolutely beautiful, and unusual.

[@dorothywarren426]

Do you tack the layers together, then cut away the excess fabric in the back?

[@karen.eckmeier]

The layers are pinned together (as shown in video toward the end), then topstitched. Excess fabric, which tends to shift toward the bottom is trimmed away.Usually not much, but enough to make tiny landscapes!

[@raquellima6198]

Que projeto lindo. E que capricho!!!! Amo patchwork. Acabei de conhecer o seu canal. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Brasil

[@TittyQuiltShop]

Thanks a lot for inspiring me! I'll give it a try! 😍🤗😘

[@SuperBeccajean]

How awesome! Thank you!

[@DwierawatiSoediono]

Wow thats magic.

[@ТатьянаКапличная]

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏очень интересно, спасибо!

[@carmencole6708]

How do you add the tiny pine trees and light house? Are they sown on?

[@karen.eckmeier]

They are tiny bits of fabric that are glued in place, then stitched at the quilting stage with matching thread.
