Thank you everyone for being so kind. I started quilting about 15 years ago and have only done a bit here and there until this fall. I have so much to learn and really struggle with getting a perfect 1/4 inch seam. grrr. I am not a perfectionist but want it to look reasonably right while still having fun. And I need time to be on here checking out all the fun:)

Thank you! I have saved them to my computer!

Amazing Bargello in the Round.

Gorgeous work! You have been busy!!!!

All your projects are beautiful. I think you pulled the Drunkard's Path off very well.

Your work is fabulous. Can't wait to see those quilted

Your spirals are amazing, but I really love the Thimbleberries quilt. You did a great job!

I love the Bargello! Fantastic! I love the all really - keep up the great work!

they are all beautiful

Those are wonderful! The colors are vibrant and move wonderfully in the spiral quilts. The Drunken Dresdem is perfect! Always did like blues and yellows blended. Your choice in colors for all of them draw the eye! Are you going to do any handwork on the Hankie one? Most of the hankies I have found in the old shops were always so delicate and had wonderful embroidery. Thank you for sharing these.

My goodness :shock: they are all so different and lovely. Thanks for sharing. How do you do your curves? Do you have a curved foot or are they hand stitched?

deltadawn 12-16-2010 12:35 AM

Fabulous!

Babs194068 12-16-2010 03:13 AM

Great job on all of them. You sure have been a busy beaver.

They are all beautiful, but I LOVE the drunkard's path. It seems regal and Victorian to me. The round bargello is incredible too.

Love the spirals. All the rest are neat too, but the spirals intrigue me.

Your spiral bargellos are beautiful! Are they made with a hole in the middle? Just thinking of doing this, but as tree skirts - for next Christmas!!

sidmona 12-16-2010 05:55 AM

They are all beautiful - you do spectacular work!

That is a good idea, Thanks! I think I will:)

Yes the center motif is added after so they are perfect for tree skirts.

They are all machine done, I figured out a technique by the time I had done them all two or three times, I later found it on a website.

There are 'easy techniques' but I like the look of the old way when it is finished, so I kept working at it until it was easy.

They are all so pretty!! You did good!

Cookie64 12-16-2010 06:11 AM

Pretty...Send it to me, I'll finish it!

I love your 'drunk dresden'!

penski 12-16-2010 07:41 PM

nice work i love the 5 th one

whereaminow 12-16-2010 07:41 PM

Loved everything you showed. I especially liked the 'hankie' idea of just using the corner. I have a stack of old hankies that I want to use in a quilt and haven't quite decided how. You've given me something to seriously consider.

Sharon M 12-16-2010 07:55 PM

Everything is pretty! Would like to know the name of the pattern in the picture just above the hanky pattern. Love the pattern and the colors.

katcincinnati 12-16-2010 08:48 PM

I love the swirls. The colors really highlight eachother.
