This month the Virtual Paintout took us to Hashima Island an abandoned island lying about (9 miles) from the city of Nagasaki, in southern Japan. 

Here's the link
to the GoogleStreetView from which I created my piece.

Virtual Paintout

I can't draw or paint worth a toot! But I sure enjoy following along the Virtual Paintout. I decided I am going to at least try and see what happens. Last month we were to walk the streets of the Virgin Islands.

This month we were to walk around Amsterdam. I found this little cheese shop.

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.
