Breathtaking and awe inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your sneak peeks. Your workmanship is just amazing.

Your stitches are wonderful. You should be very happy with yourself. ♥

I love the whole cloth quilts......your work is stunning.

Gorgeous!! Your work is beautiful.

I'm loving the more modern patterns you are using...you should design fabric!!!! please??!!

I admire your work so much. I have done a little hand quilting and getting those small even stitches was beyond me.

Beautiful. I wish I had the patience for that type of quilting.

Wow! Your quilting is exquisite! Love it!

So I had to walk across campus today to have a picture taken. Along the walk I was noticing many design elements that would fit well into a Whole cloth design. I think I have to take a day and bring a camera to work with tm to start this process.

For this quilt I use the method of needlemarking again. You don't see the markings any more when the quilting is finished, that is the reason why I prefer this method! Nothing to remove!
I have a plan (just in my mind...) which patterns I want to use and how to arrange them. For the first pattern ("flat iron") I have a selfmade half template for the oval shape and a small template for the rose at the bottom. The feathers and spirals are quilted free hand with almost no markings. The leaf in the second picture and the fern in the third are selfmade templates as well. The double lines are done freehand.

I like it a lot do quilt with only a few markings, that gives me plenty of freedom for designing during the process of quilting.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WORK. You are a true artist. I love hand quilting, but have never been able to achieve this - when I 1st looked at it, I thought it was so perfect it must be machine.

What is "needlemarking"? I usually lightly trace a pattern from a template & by the time the quilt is finished, the lines hardly show. Also, what size needle to you use?

I am in awe of your talent. Thanks so much for sharing

One more question - what type of frame/hoop, etc. do you use?

Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing!

lovely, lovely hand quilting......

as always, your quilting is just awesome :)

Andrea,

Your work, as always, is stunning! I wished you lived closer so I could take some lessons from you!

Hugs

Michele, your work is absolutely amazing, do you draw the patterns,or do you copy them from a pattern.
And thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

Great-great granny Go here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-89527-1.htm to see needle marking

My son would love a whole cloth I will attempt it some day.
You must be so proud of your work.
