Quilt for Powwow
Just got this done yesterday for the Powwow this weekend. I've been told it will probably be one of the items on the silent auction.
I didn't get a picture of it at home, and was asked to pose with the quilt, so here is that picture. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psbuorv9go.jpg |

A very special quilt - it does look like stained windows.
I would want to keep it for myself! |
What a gorgeous quilt! I hope it does well in the silent auction. Our live auctions always raise more money than our silent auctions.

How in this world do you do all that you do? First you both are building a house, and you have quilts hanging all around your gazillion beautiful sewing machines, and now you've made a most gorgeous quilt with all of the work in it. I hope you make a ton of money. Good luck. That is a "one of a kind" quilt.
|
That is such a beautiful quilt.
|
Glad to see you at last. I so enjoy seeing the progress on your machine shed, and your kitties. When do you have the time to put together that beautiful stained glass quilt? Wonderful job!

This quilt is made using the stained glass windows of the Chapel on campus as a pattern. They were designed by a Lakota (Sioux) artist to symbolize the seven sacred rites of the Lakota, along with the sacred pipe and the Morning Star. Red, White, Yellow and Black are symbolic colors. It's quilted with the Morning Star motif along the border, and each square has a circle with cross for the medicine wheel. The inner blocks are minimally quilted, the background blue is outlined and filled, and a few other pieces are outlined to give definition.
I cut out the colors using batiks, and glued them to the fairy frost background fabric. I made yards and yards of 1/4 fusible bias using black batik, and then carefully fused it, making sure all ends were covered by an overlapping piece. And then I sat at my machine and did a narrow topstitch along both edges of the bias. I went through 8 - 40' packets of the fusible tape for this project. |
Beautiful job! I have wanted to try a stained glass quilt and maybe someday I will give it a try. You did a wonderful job!!
|
Surely a labor of love, Cathy! Beautiful!
