They depict the desert hills and wind turbines near Mojave, CA where my husband works. They are on their way to his office right now.
I stitched black fabric all the way around, similar to a binding, and then pulled the black around the wooden frame that my husband made, and then finally taped them on with duct tape.
Do you know of an appraiser who specializes in landscapes? Would I just contact a quilt appraiser? I may need to get these appraised before I start my second set.

They turned out fabulous! Great job Mary. Sorry, I have no idesa about getting them appraised, though.
They are amazing! I can see why you'd like to keep them! A local quilt guild or Art gallery might have information about appraising.
Wow fabulous!
They are wonderful! I have passed by those windmills many times. Your interpretation is perfect! An insurance broker might know of an appraiser.
Yes, I've definitely seen those too, having grown up in CA. WOW, what a work of art!
Amazing!!!! They look so life like and real!!! I saw my first turbines in Aug in Ohio on our way home from vacation. They are HUGE! Yours look amazing.
I have a photograph of the CA windmills and this quilt trio brought me back to my last trip through the area where I saw them. Wonderful work of art. Now I'm feeling a bit lonesome for Cali!
Wow... your wind turbine triptych is stunning! I'm sure your DH is thrilled with them!
PS - I'd want to keep them at home too!
:)
These are just gorgeous! Having just seen lots of wind turbines in Denmark and Germany I can honestly say that you have completely captured the beauty of them.
I wouldn't be surprised if you get some commissions!
These are fantastic! Your husband is a lucky man!
