Hope this helps Judy B. I'm not surprised that Mountain Mist was mentioned. I recently saw another older quilt that I was also entranced by - I couldn't stop trying to figure out how I would piece/applique it. Turns out it was also an older Mountain Mist pattern. It was in really fugly fabrics but I kept thinking how cool it would be in batiks. And then last night I stumbled across this: http://www.mountainmistlp.com/guides.htm I see the books are available on amazon and ebay for bupkis. I think I'm going to get them - these patterns are WAY more interesting than anything being produced today. D9P anyone :roll:! Boring! I much prefer the challenge of remaking these technically involved patterns with more contemporary fabrics and colors - and methods. And it doesn't have to even be so difficult. I mean, really, why couldn't you redo this whole quilt using fusibles? Look how Ricky Tims uses it on his Rhapsody quilts. Same thing here - weird shapes. Cut out the shapes with the fusible attached and iron them down on a background. No needle-turn hand applique but today's fabulous threads to highlight the pieces. And I already posted upthread a really fabulous sneaky cheating way to make that zigzag that CherylRearick had coincidentally posted yesterday. I gotta get me some more time in the day. Wish I could buy that online as well. I'd even pay for shipping. ;-) Thanks for sharing. |

I was in heaven!!! Not only could I sit and look for as long as I wanted....she encouraged me to TOUCH - fondle, caress, cover myself in all that lovely quilted glory! (Goosebumps - Does it get any better??!!) The piecing and hand stitching was amazing - and there were many patterns that I could not identify. I would love to reproduce one....but for me, would be easier if I had a pattern to follow. Anyone recognize this pattern? |
May be the name is lost because it is too difficult to copy.
