WOW does not explain the beautiful work

I absolutely LOVE your whole cloth quilts. Each one is more beautiful than the one before. I dream of one day either doing one or owning one. Your work is magnificent. Please keep us posted on its progress. Thanks for sharing.

Not a Welsh one, these patterns are very "North Country" style from the north of England (Durham, Northumberland). The center pattern are a rose and the cowslip, the spiky patterns on the outside are called scissors.

Thank you! All is well here - but my father passed away 3 weeks ago and my quiltwork helps a lot to handle it.

Can you pay for the flight? :)

It's hand quilted. I do all my quilts completely by hand.

that is beautiful

Super wow!

As usual, IT'S GORGEOUS!!!!!

As usual, your talent is amazing!!!! Di you design the pattern, or is it available out there for us mortals?

Oh, it is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

For anyone who has not seen Andrea's work, go to her website. Bring refreshment and something to catch the drool...

Andrea, what loft batting do you use?

Beautiful.

I love when you post photos... always a real treat! Your quilting is outstanding!

Thank you! :)
I have used very traditional British (North Country) quilting patterns here like the rose, the cowslip and the scissors. I found small drawings of it in my books, but I have to enlarge and re-draw them for the right size. The spirals or snails are quilted freehand without stencils. The arrangement of patterns is self-made with a lot of inspiration of traditional wholecloth quilts - therefore the complete pattern or preprinted tops are not available as far as I know.

I use Quilter's Dream Cotton request for this quilt. It's very easy to needle and to quilt and I love it's drape - very classical.

Wow, what patience, just lovely.

It is lovely. I like the blue fabric as well. How did you mark the quilt I don't see marking - is it on the back?

I use the method of needlemarking with a darning needle.

That is gorgeous! What a lot of work you've done already. It will be so beautiful when you are finished. Do you use a lap hoop? I love the looks of handquilting so much, and I have been trying to learn to do it. Not so easy!!!

beautiful you do great work

Very well done. Love Whole piece quilts and the quilting.Beautiful.

Your hand workmanship is absolutely outstanding! I can't believe the time and patience you must put into your beautiful quilting... a true work of art!
