Joyce R. Becker Landscape Quilts
Joyce R. Becker Landscape Quilts
My pictorial and stitched landscape quilts run the gambit from serene scenes to panoramic frosty landscapes. My designs are free-motion stitched, raw-edge landscape quilts. Each of my landscape quilt books gives you insight into the techniques used for creation.

Summer 2010 A long time in creation, this design was “in my head” for years before I had the time to actually design it. The incredible hand-dyed fabric by Judy Robertson for the sky was actually the inspiration for this design because the influence of the sun in the upper left corner inspired me to […]

28″ x 27″ Fall 2003 From the collection of Red Rooster Fabrics This quilt features many Red Rooster Fabrics and is now in their collection of quilts.

I designed this quilt using a Dan Morris line for RJR Fabrics as a sample for Quilt Market in Houston, TX. I love the cows and chickens! Click to view detail image larger:
Ever since I saw Laura Heine’s cool animal collage quilts, I’ve wanted to try one of my own. I decided I wanted to put a different slant on my goat so I placed it in a whimsical landscape rather than a realistic landscape. I traced my enlarged drawing on Pattern Ease, as Laura suggests, and […]
I created this design for a special exhibit and auction for the Association of Pacific Northwest Quilters Quilt Fest. I planned on bidding on it for family who live near the mesas in Grand Junction, Colorado, but alas, my computer froze during the bidding process! DARN!
