Love Letters quilted
 
5 Attachment(s)
Just finished quilting this quilt called Love Letters from the book When The Cold Wind Blows by Barb Adams and Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs. It was a fun quilt all the way. When I sat down to quilt it on my DSM I had no idea how to quilt it so I just made something up as I went. I liked the experience. Thanks for looking.[ATTACH=CONFIG]531635[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531636[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531637[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531637[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531638[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531639[/ATTACH]

Absolutely stunning. I love applique and you did a beautiful job on the quilting. Just curious, but, how much fusible web (and what kind did you use?) did you use? Thanks.

Wow, that is beautiful. You mean you didn't draw out your quilting design? I can't even quilt that good , even if I did have a design drawn on my quilt.

I used the wash away applique sheets fused onto the applique and used glue sticks for turning the edges under.

Thank you, the only thing I drew a pattern on was the big red flower. Everything else was just free motion as I went along.

Beautiful!!! What a lovely accomplishment! I hope you keep it for yourself. :)

Yooper32 09-25-2015 04:52 AM

Wonderful job of applique, but your quilting is fantastic. I love to FMQ, but at times, get stuck in an area and can't find my way out. Looks like you have no such problems at all. Beautiful quilting!

Veronica 09-25-2015 04:56 AM

Wow!
If you just made-up the quilt design, I need you to quilt for me.
Your quilt is beautiful.

tammyg 09-25-2015 05:24 AM

Very nice......

LindaMRB 09-25-2015 05:42 AM

I love what you did for the quilting on the solid backgrounds. This is a beautiful quilt!

JenelTX 09-25-2015 06:10 AM

Oh my goodness, Joy, that is a spectacular quilt! Your fabric choices are wonderful. So thoughtful, the choices you made for the pots, the flowers, and the leaves. Beautiful, beautiful! Great job on the applique and the quilting, too. Very impressive that you did it on your domestic sewing machine.

Mariposa 09-25-2015 06:13 AM

Nice work! :)

sewingitalltogether 09-25-2015 06:29 AM

I've had to look at these pictures a hundred times. I think this is one of my all time favorites.

Beautiful quilt. Love the applique & your quilting. Great job

Gorgeous quilt!!

Walter'sMom 09-25-2015 07:31 AM

Really really beautiful. Can't imagine doing that on my DSM - I am envious of your talent!!

feline fanatic 09-25-2015 07:54 AM

I am so in awe of people who can do FMQ like this on a domestic. Every time I tried it was just awful and worse, it wasn't fun for me. Thankfully my skills on a LA are much better and it is fun for me. You did a fabulous job on this quilt, both the turned applique and all your awesome FMQ designs in the background.

buddy'smom 09-25-2015 09:04 AM

Just Gorgeous, perfect applique. You did a great job on the quilting as well.

IBQUILTIN 09-25-2015 10:51 AM

Very nice quilt.

rosiewell 09-25-2015 10:53 AM

beautiful choice of fabric and colors!

joyce888 09-25-2015 11:12 AM

Pretty quilt and quilting. Looks like you were able to use a lot of FMQ skills.
