Denise, that is gorgeous, what a beautiful job you all have made of it.
Well done, that is a Blue Ribbon if ever I saw one. Elle |
Love the quilt! :D
Your neices are pretty girls! May I ask what type of gloves are you using and are they used to help you keep control of the fabric? :?: |
Very Pretty! What was the "Challenge"?
|
What fun!! And there are some neat spots on that quilt. Can we see the whole thing?
|

Looks like a lot of work and effort was put into that quilt. Think you met the challenge.

Breezy Oriental Pond Hoffman Challenge 2008 Original Design by Denise Mayer Group Denise and neices Abby and Alex
Our label info Denise created the design using her backyard as a pattern. The girls are 16 and 13 and added elements as the quilt progressed, an uncle's/brother's Japanese Kimono inspired the back of the quilt. This is the first attempt at a lanscape quilt and machine quilting. Sewing and quilting was done by Denise, Abby did fusing while Alex did fussy cutting, We loved the peacock fabric. A challenge is using a specific fabric to make a quilt. Different challenges have different rules. |

The gloves are cure for cancer garden gloves and I could really tell if I was not wearing them the fabric did not move very well for quilting. We had a surprise birthday celebration for dkbeck, if you notice the cake it has a quilted look. She also got 2 storage containers for her quilt room.Alex is the girl on the right. I have to find Abby's picture. The other girl in the picture is their older sister.
peacock didn't show up without an outline [ATTACH=CONFIG]13350[/ATTACH] this material reminded me of my hostas. [ATTACH=CONFIG]13386[/ATTACH] I loved the way the quilting showed up on the blue kimono. [ATTACH=CONFIG]13396[/ATTACH] |

That's some amazing quilting, Denise. First time at machine quilting? Gorgeous!

Denise, that is drop-dead gorgeous! What a wonderful job by all three of you, and it looks like you had a great time to boot :D
|
Alex and Abby are my youngest sister's daughters. dkbeck is my oldest sister.
|
Looks great DA! I'm looking forward to seeing the whole quilt here - and in person when it travels with the other Challenge Quilts!!
|
Wow-that is a really neat quilt. I have seen Hoffman challenge quilts before but I have never attempted one. You and your nieces did a great job.
|
Aww take a deep breath and just sit back and admire....stunning!
|
I would love to see that quilt!!
|
What a beauty!!!...both the quilt and your relationship with your nieces. How great is that??!! What a fun thing to do and what a beautiful result to keep and cherish forever. Does the quilt rotate between your houses when it gets home from its famous Challenge tour??
|
Wow, that's looks great. Look at you go.

My neices live 2+ hours away from me. We did some of the planning over the phone. They came and stayed with me to help sew. And we have discussed what to do with the quilt when it comes back.
|
Gorgeous! So unique and creative. And special that your nieces worked with you. Wonderful collaborative effort!
|
Amanda is anxious to see the finished quilt, along with the rest of the family. She can't wait to come and quilt with her favorite aunt!
|

|

|
Beautiful quilt! What a wonderful group effort - and looks like a good time was had by all!
