Finished Christmas Present
 
1 Attachment(s)
I finished my Christmas gift for my DS. I have never completed a quilt so fast, this is a Log Cabin Barn Raising extra long double. I started it mid Sept and finished it at the end of Nov. Machine and hand pieced and hand quilted. I use a hoop as my home is to small for a quilting frame. The flowers are quilted in red thread and the darks of the logs are done in natural thread.

I hope the picture comes through.

That is just beautiful. You do very nice work. But I have to ask what the quilt inspector is saying?

Love it. I am handquilting one now.

That is a beautiful quilt, and I'm impressed with the hand quilting. Your dog definitely seems to be having a problem with something though. Does he hope the quilt is for him?

maryb119 12-17-2011 04:38 PM

Beautiful quilt! He will love it! I am a hand quilter, too. I enjoy hearing that there are others who like to hand quilt as well.

Beautiful quilt, and I also love the colors you used, and I also am a hand quilter, and love it. :)

I love the red thread hand quilting - beautiful. Awesome quilt.

ccthomas 12-17-2011 06:13 PM

So how many hours a day did you have to devote hand quilt a day? Very nice.

malega 12-17-2011 06:30 PM

Very nice ....love your colors!

cwessel47 12-17-2011 07:19 PM

Very nice work! As another hand quilter, I think stitching over those white logs must have been a bear - and you did a beautiful job!

Grandma Peg 12-17-2011 07:45 PM

Great job.

Kim Bohannon 12-17-2011 07:48 PM

how nice! Your work looks real good!

I hand quilt too, but nothing that fancy

Your quilt is beautiful, the hand quilting is wonderful!

Very nice quilt and wonderful hand quilting. So happy to see another handquilter. When I see all the LA work, I feel very alone. I hope hand quilting is not a dying art.

nabobw 12-18-2011 06:16 AM

gellybean402 12-18-2011 06:22 AM

OMG! Thank God for this board! (And another set of eyes!) I had a PM about the Carpenter's Square block which has a row which is upside down! Guess I need to fix that eh? LOL! I am so glad I didn't have all 12 done yet! Thanks again! (You know who you are;)

Cottontop 12-18-2011 06:27 AM

pls1946 12-18-2011 06:21 PM

My Grandmother hand quilted and I would sit for hours helping her, I think she pulled all my stitches out when I went home. Still don't have the hang of it. Your Log Cabin is beautiful!!

jetmaio 12-19-2011 06:22 AM

You must be so proud of what you've accomplished in so little time. Beautiful.

MargeD 12-19-2011 08:19 AM
