I often think it's a shame when I see an old, often hand-pieced top given to an unsympathetic LAer just to be pantoed or stippled all over... But take a look at this link - it's a traditional Sunbonnet Sue top, pieced by it's owner's great-grandmother. And personally, I think that this long-armer did an absolutely fabulous and very sympathetic job on it. I think the finished quilt is now a prime example of how the old traditional can sit beautifully alongside our contemporary skills with modern machines. What do you all think? :D EDIT: it's the second quilt on the page I'm referring to, you have to scroll down a tad. :-D EDIT 2: here's a link with better photos http://quiltinggallery.com/2011/02/1...ongarm+Quilter |
What a caring thoughtful Long Armer!

Isn;t that just beautiful.

wow that is beautiful!

That's the kind of quilting I love!!! Where almost every inch is heavily quilted. I really dislike big feathers that are 9" wide, and that's it.

Hasn't she done a lovely job.

I am impressed with her skill. She did a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing this with us. :thumbup:

A beautiful treasure. Handling the extra fullness can be quite a job. I am working one today that had that problem.
|
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous. What a neat lady!

That's how it should be done! The quilting should enhance the design--not just be a method to "nail" all the layers together.
