2 Medallion quilts finally finished
4 Attachment(s)
The first one has a machine embroidered centre, this design came with my new machine so stitched it out and then forgot about it, until one day when cleaning up I found it and decided to do "something" with it and this is the result. All the fabric came from my stash and I had it longarm quilted with lots of feathers. The longarmer took 7 weeks and I had it back.
My DD has claimed this quilt. The second quilt I started 2 years ago at a retreat, it is a pattern matched LeMoyne star. The original pattern had the stars in the centre and fans in the border and was 60 inches square. I just used the centre pattern then turned it on point and added the outer star border, it ended up 106 inched square. My "old" longarmer had this quilt for 16 months before I finally picked it up. I heard every excuse in the book as to why she was doing it and considering that she has 2 computerised Gammill machines it was still unacceptable that it took so long. This was made for my bedroom |

Oops the third photo was supposed to be the LeMoyne Star

WOW! Beautiful!
|
Absolutely stunning! Love it....and best of luck with your long arm person.
|
They are both stunning! I couldn't decided which one I liked better if I had to. Wish I could get a closer look at the lam.star to see what the quilting came out like after 18 months. If it were mine, I'd of forgotten what it looked like in that amount of time. You ended up with real Heirlooms. Great job.
|
These quilts are gorgeous and so perfectly made. You are the best!
|
Gorgeous quilts! Replace your long armer.
|
Gorgeous quilts and colors.
|
Absolutely beautiful!
|
Your quilts are beautiful, thank you for sharing.
|
They're both fantastic. The 2nd is my favorite. I love the kaleidoscope effect in the stars. Also love the log cabin blocks in the 1st quilt.
|
Beautiful, just simply beautiful. You make great tops. I would not have been able to wait that long to get a quilt back. I am sorry that happened to you
|
Ummm, maybe your long-arm quilter was intimidated? After all, those are heirlooms with such attention to detail and workmanship. They are beautiful! And inspiring and thank you!
|
MiraB ... you already know I love these quilts!
You used the perfect fabric for the kaleidos ... and worked it in perfectly to showcase as a reference fabric too. Your embroidery is incredible!! A Double Well Done to you! :) |
Both Quilts are Beautiful. Great work
|
OK, follow-up to cutting the LA quilter slack and for the record, I could not wait that long. Especially given the work you had invested in those beauties. You were very patient. And your quilts are beautiful!

Wow they are both beautiful!! I can certainly understand why DD claimed the first one - if she changes her mind, you can always send it to me. LOL! :)

Both quilts are just stunning! I have made a lemoyne star quilt but mine wouldn't hold a candle to yours! I don't know how you could have waited so long to get it back!

Doesn't your heart just" purr "when something you've made is so beautiful.
|
Thanks for sharing your beautiful works of art. You have brightened up my day!
|
Both are beauties! Love the feathers in the first one! All so pretty~~~
|
I think 18 months to do is not right. Guess I would see if I could find another Long Arm quilter.
