That is a very nice piece of work.
|
I'd like to know the age of the quilter...
|
holy cow! that is really, really intensive work. i'm not sure i would ever tackle something like that.
|
thanks for the pictures and for putting your finger there for size. hard to believe they made anything that small.
|
A group of quilters from Yakima saw the same exhibition and could not believe our eyes. All of her work was gorgeous. I think the quilter was Sally Collins, correct? Great show. Spentl too much money, but well worth the cost as I will now have an acrylic table for my Featherweight.
|
Isn't that amazing! Thanks for the pictures.

how do they sew the seams? |
Wow that is tiny.

Sally's work is just fabulous! Thanks for sharing the pics!
|
The sewers had to have unbelievably steady hands and patients- not to mention great eye sight
|
Amazing.
|
So Incredible that anyone could create such perfection on such a small scale!
Drat! My threshold for throwing away scraps just shrunk even smaller! :? |
Look like Sally Collins style! She loves to do minis. Definitely detail oriented. Beautiful!
|
I'd like an answer to the "How do you sew those seams" question. I have a pp pattern for a small village - and I can't figure out how those pieces get sewed either. Yikes - someone is a miracle worker.
|
oh my word tiny tiny tiny...they are beautiful
|
I have some books on mini quilts, they use 1/8th inch seams to piece the quilts. I have yet to try one but a friend of mine made several in traditional block designs and they are really something to see. I display the one she gave with great pride in her work.
|
ONG - I recently tried to make a 4" patchwork square and I am ready to throw the book out the door. I made a plastic template etc. but putting it together is akkkkk!!!
|
Crazy! Again, every time I go to a show and see work like that I think I'm not worthy to touch fabric!

Wow, that is beautiful, I love mini quilts!
|
those poor women's eyesight, the quilts are a true work or art
|
I love tiny quilts, not sure I could see well enough to do one though...
|
Amazing!! How tiny!!
|
Oh my word.. and I love doing miniatures. Even I don't think I have the patience for that.. and I'm working on a quilt with 3/8" hexagons..
|
Wow those are really amazing. I can barely see the hst let alone sew it
|
Gorgeous but I don't think I would want to make it. Toooo small.

That is so cool--thanks for sharing (and for giving us a picture with your finger for scale)!
|
Truly Amazing!!
|
Wow! I am happy that you were able to enjoy these works of art!
|
WOW, talking about "Lilliputian" quilts!
They're beautiful! Thank you for sharing |
Amazing!
|
I would go batty sewing stitches that small. They are absolutely beautiful. The quilters that made them need to be commended for such great work.

Smaller than I could ever do that's for sure.
