My Quilting Adventure so far!
 
3 Attachment(s)
I was asked in the intro thread to post my first project, placemats, I couldn't find a photo, but I did a table topper at the same time, my first quilted project, circa 2015.
I've been trying new things and learning since, and this year, I completed Nancy Rink's New Age Quilt, and hand-quilted it. I also attended a pictorial quilting workshop and completed Brightlingsea (named after the English town where my aunt and uncle live, and these beach huts are found).
So many ways to quilt, and so much more to learn!

Nice work! I'm envious of your beach hut pictorial--have yet to manage a pictorial but would sure like to learn.

Love your color combinations on the bed quilt - beautiful quilting too. The beach huts make me homesick for England - great job on the pictorial!

grammasharon 06-21-2017 04:10 AM

Beautiful quilts. Your hand quilting is gorgeous and really enhances your piecing. You have much talent. Thanks for showing us.

twinkie 06-21-2017 04:33 AM

That quilt is beautiful.

feline fanatic 06-21-2017 04:50 AM

Welcome to the board. You have made some great projects. Like everyone else, I am completely enamored with the bed quilt you hand quilted. Great colors, great pattern and wonderful quilting!

The beach hut scene is also quite unique and has a lot of visual interest.

Looking forward to many more shares from you.

Jennifer23 06-21-2017 06:05 AM

Welcome to the board, and WOW - you do amazing work! I'm in awe of your colour sense, both in the bed quilt and the beach huts. You're very talented, especially given that you' very only been quilting for a couple years. I look forward to hearing more from you!

Thank you all for your kind comments, I have loved my quilting journey so far, and I'm finding so much to try. For the bed quilt, the credit for the colours is to the designer Nancy Rink and Marcus Fabrics (it's New Age Muslin), I was able to find it as a kit and then found the stencils for the floral motif as a matching set. For a newer quilter, Nancy's pattern was excellent, it had detailed explanations of each step.
I enjoyed the hand quilting, I am a cross stitcher so some of the stitching style was familiar, and I found a reasonably priced quilt frame which helped the work.

Absolutely beautiful work. That bed quilt is AWESOME & I love the colors. I really like the colorful table topper (red is my favorite color) & the pictorial scene is so sweet. You are really venturing out in a lot of different areas. Thank for sharing your beautiful quilting with us.

Beautiful quilts !! the one on the bed is my favorite also. Please share the pattern name and the size it is. Love it!

Sweet quilts.

MarLeClair 06-21-2017 03:12 PM

I think you have an exceptional eye for color! Wish I had that talent.

The quilt is Nancy Rink's New Age Quilt and the kit used Marcus Fabrics New Age Muslin, I think it was a Block of the Month quilt at one point. The pattern size is 82"x98", mine is slightly smaller (about 76"x 90") as I didn't include the outermost border. I've attached another photo showing the full quilt better. For the binding I pieced together 8"x2.5" strips of all the colours (may be hard to see in the pic).

All of your quilts are lovely, but that bed quilt is extraordinary! It's absolutely gorgeous!!

grammysharon 06-21-2017 09:09 PM

I love all your work. The quilt is especially beautiful!

sewbizgirl 06-21-2017 09:17 PM

I LOVE that bed quilt! The border is to die for.

Your beach houses quilt is a beautiful art quilt.

I have been quilting longer than you have, but I have learned only a fraction of what you have. A+

The bed quilt is so very sophisticated and the Brightlingsea is captivating.
