This Asian sampler is so pretty.

I used 5 different colors of thread. Rust, purple, black, green and gold. Black on the back. For a bit I was having issues with that I got a new tensioner and what do you know? no tension issues.

I simply outlined the blocks and highlighted every picture within the fabric. I added a few designs to add texture, such as stipple, water and clouds. The moons are already raised so I simply wanted to highlight a few designs within the moon to keep it quilted evenly and also make it POP out more.

This quilt has black warn and natural batting.

I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA.

Thanks for looking!

Oh On my INNOVA. I think I wore the other one out. So I bought a new one...and it is working quite well.

I see. I was afraid I was missing out on something new :)
Im hoping to get an Innova later this year. What do you think of the A1's?? went to a retreat a couple of weeks ago and the owner is a representative. A1's are about $15,800.00

As far as I am concerned the A-1is the best competition for the Innova. I liked the A-1 alot. However, The innova (IMHO) had better visability, more thread options....and I love the E-cording attachment. I also think you get more for your money with the Innova. You get absolutely everything for 3000$ less. You can get lots of extras with that 3000$. That is only my opinion...

Totally understand and can appreciate that. If I win the lotto, then I will get one of each and put one up in our mountain home (that I will also buy with my lotto winnings) SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR ME!!!

I love the Asian prints, wish they would go in one of my rooms. The quilting is really nice and finishes it off.

Beautiful. How long does it take you to do something like that? You are a busy girl....

feline fanatic 05-12-2011 05:33 AM

Am I reading this correctly? You actually found a few spare hours to make yourself a quilt and quilt it?? ;)

I love this and it is a great way to showcase some gorgeous Asian panels. You did a great job on both the peicing and the quilting.

nannya54 05-12-2011 05:42 AM
