North Country Wallhanging
3 Attachment(s)
Hello to you all! I hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Here are some pictures of a North Country wallhanging I made in 2010. It came back home to me a few days ago after it's 2-years-journey with a traveling exhibition, organized by the German quilter's guild. The size of the quilt is 49" x 40" and it's hand quilted. The patterns are very traditional North Country patterns like rose, flat iron and fans. I used Legacy 80/20 batting and YLI hand quilting thread. The patterns are needlemarked, therefore I didn't have to remove any pencil marks. Just perfect on a light colored fabric like this one. |
Wow! The hand quilting is absolutely FABULOUS!!

I really, really like the motifs on this one - the spirals and flowers - and the whole center layout. They might be very traditional, but seem to me to be more informal, less rigid, than other whole cloths I've seen. I think if I ever get around to making one myself, it will be in this style. Lovely work. It's such a pleasure to look at the details....surprises everywhere. Thanks for posting it. |

Beautiful, just beautiful! Can't think of any other words to say how great it is. I had to enlarge the pictures twice so I could tell the stitching is not machine stiching, because the stitches are so tiny!!!

What is "needlemarked"? I've never heard of that before....but then I'm a machine quilter. Your quilting is absolutely beautiful!! |
All I can say is "Oh my gosh!". It is beautiful.

You have made a gorgeous heirloom quilt. Your hand quilting is truly exquisite.

I can easily see why this art work was in an exhibition. You should be very proud of your skill and artistry.

I wish I knew your secret for hand quilting. It's beautiful.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...ng-t89527.html It's a very traditional method of marking a quilt. I found it several years ago in a book from UK. |
