Helen's Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]460589[/ATTACH]This is a quilt just finished by my friend Helen, we are a small craft group of 4 ladies, we meet each week usually on a Wednesday from 10 am until 2 pm, we are self taught in the art of quilting, our main inspiration is from pictures and tutorials on "The Quilting Board".

Helen's work whatever she does is always beautifull, I am afraid this photograph does not do justice to the lovely hand stitched quilting.



I know she will be most interested in your comments.

Your quilt is beautiful! Your weekly gatherings sound like so much fun.

quiltinglady 02-04-2014 09:33 PM

Your friend Helen, will love this. Your hand quilting gives it that extra touch!!:) I meet weekly with a group that hand quilt our tops but unfortunately because of the snowstorms in our area we have been unable to meet for the last three weeks. My hand quilting has really improved, so I hope I haven't lost my touch.

I agree with all the above except the impression of no hand quilting due to snow. If we close a meeting I make the day a quilting day at home. Even with sandwich in the middle,

I just love the design and colors. I saved a copy of the quilt to my Photos so I can admire the hand-quilting as well. Would love to have Helen as my best friend to help me put colors together.

quilter1430 02-05-2014 07:07 AM

Helen, you did a fabulous job ... that's not an easy pattern either. Is quilting popular in Australia?

wolph33 02-05-2014 07:12 AM

wow-she is amazing super quilt

Crqltr 02-05-2014 07:16 AM

It's beautiful! I zoomed in on the quilting...wow! IT really makes the quilt!

Jitterbug 02-05-2014 07:37 AM

This is absolutely beautiful.As I zoomed in for a closeup look of the hand quilting, I noticed on my computer it said"Helen's SECOND quilt?? My gosh, that is absolutely amazing! The pattern alone is a difficult one and to see it looking so perfect? color choices supreme,piecing such as it is? wonderful. I was interested in her hand quilting because I am one too.Helen is so good at it.I hope she is proud of her work,for she needs to be for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this spectacular quilt.

Grandma Peg 02-05-2014 07:40 AM

Helen, I like all what you did to this quilt, I also hand quilt, I love all the patterns of the 8 pt star, and I love the bright colors, we need some of the bright colors and cheer to get us thru this cold weather... we were in Apacher Junction for the month of Jan. , I had to keep reminding myself that it was winter not summer back in Iowa Keep the good work and cheerful quilts coming. We love to see all the beautiful quilts on this GB,
