I found this quilt Thursday night....it is here:

http://quiltingintherain.blogspot.co...n-ucreate.html


I thought it was so adorable! I also knew I could piece it and quilt it in a night ...so I gathered supplies and started friday. I had it done in a couple hours..I used a white I had in my stash and strips from a jelly roll set called "Wing It" by MoMo for Moda.

Then I started thinking how I was going to quilt it.

I though I could quilt the words "All because 2 people fell in love" between the colored strips...then it occurred to me that I could make the "Love" stand out...I went to the LQS on the hunt for a fiber to quilt on there ( I still don't have my Ecording attachment ....soon..very soon) ..My friend helped me by pointing out the chenille strips...PERFECT!!

Then she said you should do trapunto on the heart! YES!! That is perfect....so I did that...then I said "Oh I shoudl add another layer of trapunto to do a lacey border of quilting around the big heart...so three layers of batting later....then I thought I should put my DH and my Initials in the quilting...At first I was going to maybe do them with the chenille strips and decided not to....I like it this way better...but I did think about adding some glitter cause "We all need a little sparkle" right?? I didn't ..still thinking on that.

This is the end result...I am so in LOVE with it! I just need to block it now because of the massive amount of trapunto.
Anyway.....I hope you all "love" it too!

I used hobbs polydown batting...and also a soy batting by legacy.

I quilted everything freehand on my INNOVA>

Thanks for looking!

I sort of stunned. I've never seen anything like it. It is gorgeous

Awesome job, very pretty too.

And on Sunday night she posts it -- all done, including complex quilting and trapunto!

Charismah, Charismah, you're going to make the rest of us look bad by going so fast! Quilting is supposed to take time -- when hubby asks: are you still working on that one? I get to say: yes dear, nothing worthwhile ever goes quickly. (This gets me out of doing something physical outside with him in the heat, like stacking firewood for next winter.)

Love your work, lady!

You do such beautiful work!

Your amazing!!

Amazing - just wonderful! I love the initials worked into the feathering. And the loops outlining the heart, making it POP. You do such awesome work.

I'm going to have to look up info on the soy batting - I'm intrigued :)

You always do such beautiful quilting! Quilt is gorgeous too!

Charisma! I would love to see a video of you creating!! One awesome project after another! You share in such a lovely way! Thanks!

Very Cool. But I vote for the glitter! A little bling could only make it even better!!!

LOL. TOO FUNNY

It is a beautiful quilt

You took that quilt pattern and made it 10 times better. Beautiful work.

Darling, and a beautiful job of quilting.

I know right?? But should it be crystals?? Add the "Bling" or fabric glitter? which is more like a subtle..."Here I am"

Oh how beautiful Charisma! I'm speachless.....

Just lovely, does the words say because 2 people love?

HEHEHE!,
Well it is not a race! It is just that I have small window of time to get my own things done....so I have been choosing projects I know I can get done quickly...I don't like UFO's...( I have way to many) LOL

Yes...All because 2 people fell in love..the all is outside of the heart because I wanted it to represent the WHOLE heart...
Thanks!

Trust me a video would be boring. LOL

Maybe if it was inside of my head..but then I think maybe nobody else would understand it>? Or make sense of it?

Very nice .. I am impressed that you have time to do anything of your own projects ! Always look forward to your posts.

Ohhhh, that's just beautiful... thanks for sharing!

I feel like a broken record when it comes to commenting on your beautiful quilts and quilting, but, Wow , very pretty!!!! :thumbup:

Charisma, you are so very talented! I never miss looking at the pictures you post!!!

I so enjoy seeing your quilting. Very intriging designs!

It’s beautiful!! I love how you included both of your initials in the quilting and also words. :thumbup:

Another awesome job. I wish I could harness 1/2 of your speed and ALL of your talent. Well done girl.

I'm so intimidated by your work, This is so beautiful, I may never quilt again.

You really jazzed it up - I love how you added your own style to this quilt - I saw this posted on modabakeshop - yours is so spectacular and unique - great job and beautiful quilt.

sweet, great job

Gorgeous and so sentimental...the best kind :D

Wow that is just beautiful. I know I sound like a repeat of the others, but it is stunning.

Sibyl

OMG this is so sweet! Mind if I add this idea to my NICU library of patterns? You really gotta slow down, you're making us all look bad! You do phenomenal work tho!

Oh yeah..go ahead add it! It's not my pattern or anything. Just my embellishments.... :thumbup:

It is beautiful! I am going to nick name you Speedy Gonzales. You do awesome work.
