MissEllie sent me this quilt.
She made it for her daughter and the fabrics were given to Missellie by her own mother years ago. She made the quilt and has been waiting for the perfect time to get it finished...I am so honored.

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!

Bravo Ladies!! Piecing and quilting outstanding!

missellie 04-25-2011 10:30 AM

I'm absolutely overwhelmed! I am so thrilled to see how your quilting absolutely makes this quilt! Mother would have been so proud.
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.

just beautiful, both piecing and quilting...
I LOVE the plaid sash border...
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... :)

MOMBASIL53 04-25-2011 01:21 PM

Just gorgeous work, both by the lady who made the quilt, and your quilting is always absolutely breathtaking.

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.
