Batik turning 12
2 Attachment(s)
I'm making 3 quilts for a co-worker who wants to give them to her adult children for Christmas. This is my first - and probably last - commission job.
Pattern: Turning 12 Fabric: Connecting Threads fat quarter bundle |
Very pretty! I love your layout of the fabrics. :)
|
Super job. BrendaK
|
Wow, that is pretty. Love it,
|
Very nice.
|
Very pretty colours....
|
nicely done.
|
Well you do gorgeous work. I can see why you were asked to make quilts for someone.
|
Beautiful!! Love the batiks. I know it is hard to make a quilt someone else has requested -- I do surprise quilts much better. Great job!!
|
Great quilt! Commissions are a good way to suck all the fun out of quilting, aren't they?
|
Those fabrics are really, really pretty in this pattern. And I think I understand where you're coming from when you say no more commissioned quilts. What a lot of pressure it is to make something knowing before hand that it will be sold. Much easier to make it and then be able to say, " Here's what I have - take it or leave it!" At any rate, this is very nice and I like the chance to see the Connecting Threads batiks in a completed quilt.

|

Really, really pretty! Love the pattern and the fabrics. Your work is amazing.
|
love it. the batiks are great
|
Your batiks are beautiful and the pattern works well with them. A really beautiful quilt.
I can understand your not wanting to take on commissions. I made one quilt for a woman. She was really pleased and I was rewarded handsomely but the pressure to please and perfection was enormous. Now, I make a quilt, if you like it we can talk about a price. Less stress for me. I have to admit, I hate to sell or give away my quilts. :) :) |
Very pretty. You did a great job.
|
Nice Quilt! Never say never..... cause you never know. Quite often I think "never again" but then, I do it again.
|
Love the batiks!
|
Why your last commission quilting? They're beautiful.
|
Last commission? Too much pressure. I want to please, but it's so hard to tell exactly what someone wants. I'll make and sale - if you like it you can buy it - but not going to take a vague request and try to make something from it. The lady bought 3 quilts from me and was thrilled about each one, but ... the second guessing and self-doubt just wasn't worth it.
