This quilt I made 6 years ago for an exhibition in a museum. The house was built at the beginning of the 18th century and the ceiling beams in it are quite big so we only could hang quilts not wider that a metre (40 inch). But they could be longer! I made three quilts in that longish size for the exhibition. For this one I used just half of a complete wholecloth design- just for fun!

It's Magnificent!! :thumbup: You have done the most beautidul work making it. I am so thankful that you have shared with all of us here on the Q.B. Congrat's on a job well done!!
:D :D :D :D

Great job . Thanks 4 sharing :-D

Wow! The quilting on that is gorgeous!

How long did it take you to do this?

I think it took me about 2 month to finish it.

That is beautiful. Do you do all hand quilting? When you do a whole-cloth quilt in a color, do you match your thread to the fabric or do you use white? Just amazing work!

You're awesome lady!

oh, gosh that's pretty! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Here you go again! You like to keep me hypnotized!!!!! Your work is so very beautiful it puts me in a trance. To think you do the stitching by hand is so amazing. You say it seems natural to you. Because you have done the stitching so magnificently for so long do you now take your talent for granted or does it entrance you the way it does me?
For those who see your post and do not know please say in your posts or avatar signature that you hand pieced them.
You have given me a beautiful image for my mind to enjoy as I go about my day. Thank you once more for sharing the beauty with us.

Fantastic. Was that preprinted or did you do it yourself? If it was preprinted where did you get it? I love doing that kind of quilting. It is so relaxing and you see the results immediately. Ill bet it looked "marvelous" hanging in the old house.

Wow, that is so pretty.

beautiful

Gorgeous :thumbup:

mpspeedy, she isn't signed on right now so she will tell us later but in another post she was also asked this and she said she does it freehand and 'it just comes natural' to her. What a gift huh! I love her work.

That is gorgeous. Beautiful work.

Excellent work. :thumbup:

Wow! I wish I could watch someone actually in the process of quilting like this. Its amazazing! I learn so much faster and better by watching than reading.

Thanks for sharing it is great!

Wow! that is beautiful.

Love your fabric and your quilting is out of this world!

Oh WOW

*is rendered speechless*

OH! how beautiful! You did that all by HAND?!!! WOW! I am so impressed! Danke for sharing!

Wow, Wow, Wow, I could look at this all day and keep on saying the same thing, WOW!

You do absolutely amazing work! I hand quilt, but I've never attempted the whole cloth let alone do it freehand! Thanks for sharing your wonderful work to all of us to oooh & aaaahh over!!!!

Stunning!

Beautiful quilting!!!!

Your quilt and quilting are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Your handquilting is so beautiful--you are my HERO!

Yes, I only do hand quilting. Sometimes I use thread with the same color than the fabric, but somestimes I use contrasting colors. For this quilt in a brown I used a rust and a golden thread - unfortunately it does not show so well on the pictures. I will try to do another one where you can see it later.

No, this wasn't preprinted. I used several stencils and some freehand quilting. It's wonderful to read that you also love that kind of quilting!

Wow you do beautiful work!!!!

And to you all.... thank you for all your nice comments, it really makes me happy and proud. And I will enjoy to show you more pictures of my work!

Wow!!! :shock:
That is beautiful!!

I love whole cloth quilts and hope to make one someday....

That takes my breath away!

you never cease to amaze me and put me into a state of complete awe.
your handquilting is amazing :D
