Are those beautiful quilts usable or are they more decorative? I'm assuming they are decorative because the top is organza. (I know don't assume. haha)

I made the first shadow trapunto bag for one of my sister. She wore it day after day, for three month, and the only part that suffered some damage were the corners. The rest of the bag has the organza intact. After that, I made the next bags using just cotton fabrics on the corners.
A purse made from organza is less durable than one made from upholstery fabric, for example. It needs a little more care…but it is more beautiful…
CrKathleen, yes, the quilts are more decorative.

Thank you, Kwhite, for the “bump“.

These are beautiful. Is this a type of embroidery?

Geta, You sound as beautiful as your quilting.
Write some books for us. You have wonderful talent. God Bless

What beautiful work!

Thank you, Marla, I will certainly do !

I wonder if there was another type of fab that would give you a similiar look that would be sturdier. Those quilts are just so beautiful I would to make one and be able to use it. (My hubby is hard on pretty stuff. haha) I could always make one and pull it off the bed in the evening. Thanks Geta for the inspiration!!! Maybe one day......

I would love to know how to do this. They are beautiful

Wow, magnificant!! There is nothing left to say.

Dear Greta,
I have been quilting for a long time, and I have seen thousands of quilts. So, I feel compelled to tell you that your work made chills run up and down my spine. They are simply stunning!!

These are absolutely beautiful. What perfect stitching. You are amazing!

CrKathleen, you can use any other sheer fabric (cotton batist, as example ). But the results will not be the same, because the batist it isn't as sheer as organza. The batting motifs will not be so visible and the color of background fabric will be more faded.

Your quilts are BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! How do you do this technique?

Colleen

Hi Coleen,

Here it is the technique

http://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.co...nou-quilt.html

The first layer of the quilt is organza. The white motifs under organza are made from batting. And under these there are 3 layers (cotton fabric, batting and a backing)- like in an ordinary quilt.

THOSE ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have done this technique before, but never with the colored backgrounds. You are extremely talented. Thanks for sharing.

hi,
absolutely!!! stunning!!!!!

I understand the process and knowing that I'm speechless.

are they done on a long arm, or what kind of machine.

was I too in awe to check out the sizes of these quilts, can you give me an idea of sizes.

peel

No words can discribe your quilts, awsome!!!

Hi Peel,

I don't have a longarm machine, just a domestic one. A Pfaff Select.
The organza I use is just 60" wide so the larger quilt I made is 52" square. Some of them are 40", I also made two miniatures (19") and a few other smaller pieces.

Happy quilting to you all and thank you for your nice comments. I am happy you like my quilts !

WOW! Those are absolutely stunning!

Oh my! That is beautiful!!! I want to try it now. You are very talented.

absoutely lovely. I'm still not sure how you get the lovely color(s). i've seen the technique in magazines but it's lost on me. :mrgreen:
