Your quilting is always just absolutely amazing!

absolutely gorgeous!!!

Your work is just "too much". (that means good) You should hold your own quit show in the middle of the country and display all of your quilts and then we could all come to see them.--or we could just come to visit you in WA.

This quilt is amazing. Congrats to the good work of the piecer and the exceptional work by the quilter. Charisma you do so many different patterns in your quilting I was wondering how many stops and starts you do in a quilt say like this one? Just curious. Thanks

jillnjo 04-26-2011 10:27 AM

This was one of the first quilts I made (over 20 years ago) and when I saw Charmisa's quilting, knew she would be the one to bring it to life.
Thank you Charisma.

I am honored missellie! Thank you for sending it!

and i love the way you place the feathers and the touches of "corner work" in the machine quilting...

may i ask whether you think this thru with the quilt on a wall, or when it's on the frame..i do have a small throat machine on my frame... but am quite comfortable with it.... i'm getting up the courage to try some of your technique... i think i can do it.... i know it will take a ton of practice.. but am looking forward to it.... thank you for giving me "permission" to put feathers where you do... :)

HI Granmdababs,
I think we all learn from eachother..you are welcome to any of my panning ideas!

As far as planning..I actually don't have a design wall. I had a small one in my last room....to hang a few blocks..Most of the time I pull the quilts out look at them ...kind of study them for a bit and go from there...sometimes when I am pinning on I still don't know what i am going to quilt..LOL. It just comes to me. Was that clear as mud?

Can I convince you to move to the Blue Ridge Mtns. in NC, quilters need you here! We'll even find you a home with a view on a mountain side.

I am not sure..I have never been south of LAs Vegas..the heat may kill me...?? LOL BUt I have quilted for a few SCQb members... :thumbup:

ButtermilkMama 04-26-2011 12:29 PM

All of your FMQ is beautiful. You definitely have a "special talent".

HI Crabby Patty, Love the picture by the way!

I have no idea how many starts and stops..quite a few...especially one like this because of the diagonal lines of the square on point...same with a quilt like trips around the world...Thanks!

Amazing!!

gellybean402 04-26-2011 04:19 PM

Hi Charisma! Great job on this quilt and great job by Miss Ellie! I was wondering if you ever thought of putting a video up of you quilting a small quilt so we can actually see how you quilt? I have always wanted to watch someone do a whole quilt but haven't had the chance yet. Also, wanted to ask you what fabric is on the back of this quilt? Thanks and keep up the great work!

trolleystation 04-26-2011 04:43 PM

Wonderfully done, both piecing and quilting.

MaryAnna 04-26-2011 04:45 PM

Wow! The quilt is fabulous, and your quilting never ceases to amaze me! You're so talented!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

missellie 04-26-2011 05:00 PM

Thanks Gellybean402 for the nice compliment. And I must say, Charisma's quilting makes the quilt! The quilt back is simply muslin.

plmaher 04-26-2011 05:17 PM

Lovely!!

JEM65 04-26-2011 05:22 PM

Miss Ellie - Fabulous! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your quilt! I am not much of a scrappy quilt girl but I am enamoured by this one! Charisma - as always your quilting is AMAZING & UNIQUELY yours! Thanks for sharing lovely ladies!

Jan T 04-26-2011 05:47 PM

Charisma, you just get better and better all the time. The quilting on this one couldn't be any better.
Scrappy is wonderful, but you pushed it over the top. Well done.

I have to say there are 100's of HST and I didn't see one point cut off! Exceptional piecing!

I wanted to highlight the pattern in this scrappy quilt....The black square on point, the red star and the flying geese borders. I put in feather wreaths, feather swags, stipple in several areas to highlight the design elements and simple wavy line to break up some areas and provide texture. That's my favorite word "texture".

I used Hobbs polydown batting.

I quilted this on my 26 INNOVA. No computer or pantograph quilting.

Thanks for looking!

That is a beautiful quilt, and as usual you just added so much to it's beauty with your beautiful quilting art. You are so good and such a natural with that machine of yours. I would love to be near enough to just sit and watch you work someday. I have to open your post first when I see one, because I am always in such awe of your beautiful work.
