Both are very very nice but the bargello is outstanding! WOW it pops!

Jim's Gem 10-07-2010 11:16 AM
Both are beautiful!

akrogirl 10-07-2010 11:24 AM
Beautiful, beautiful work! I would probably never have thought of putting those fabrics together for the table toppers, which would have been my loss - the finished results are stunning. I need to learn to be more adventurous :-)

Linda B 10-07-2010 12:32 PM
I'm not a huge fan of bargello, but I really like yours. I like the way the colors seem to flow into each other without the usual sharpness so many others tend to have.

crawford1219 10-07-2010 01:07 PM
I love them both-especially your bargello! I am trying to get my nerve up to do a bargello-have never tried making one yet. I think I am too scared I will mess it up :)

trisha 10-07-2010 07:30 PM
ooooooooo,aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! Drooling over both!!

Babs194068 10-08-2010 02:30 AM
I think they are both great.

Wow! They are both gorgeous! I've got a bargello on my 'to do' list, it looks difficult, but oh so pretty!
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

Dojo36, you are so sweet. I'm glad you posted a close up of your work! A double wow! I love your embroidery, are those sayings? They are wonderful! Is it hand embroidery or machine? You are so talented!
Blessings,
MaryAnna
PS I also love your saying...'Love people and use things....'

dojo36 10-08-2010 04:24 AM
yes maryanna those are sayings. thank you for the compliments but i'm not talented, i just have a talented embroidery machine and yes they are machine embroidered. about the only thing i do by hand is EAT.

both are very nice. I like the quilted table cloth, as I'm interested in Scrappy and using all of my bits and pieces. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

Regarding the tablecloth ... Do you use batting and then backing, or just a backing, or ???

raynhamquilter 10-08-2010 03:53 PM

because it was a b**** to make, lol but then again maybe the second one would be a little easier.

yes i used warm and natural and backing, did it just like i do a quilt. so if push came to shove, i could jerk it off the table and cover with it.

moonwolf47 10-08-2010 06:26 PM
Both are lovely!!! I am partial to the bargello one! Stunning!

zkosh 10-08-2010 08:13 PM
So pretty! I especially love the tablecloth! Was there a pattern or was it your design? The colors are wonderful. :thumbup: :thumbup:

karenm36 10-08-2010 08:18 PM
Love them both! Your use of color and design on both is fantastic! Wish you were a neighbor so you could teach me how to quilt! ;-)

sharone 10-08-2010 08:49 PM
Love them both as well~

QUILT4JOY 10-08-2010 09:00 PM
I LOVE the tablecloth. The flowers are exquisite and fanciful. Your bargello is beautiful also. I too am still smarting after finishing my first bargello. I'm starting to think I might try another one.

beckyw 10-08-2010 09:05 PM
I love them

a lady who works at our lqs had made one of those squares and i looked at it real good, came home and started cutting squares out of my old fqs and scraps. i had no idea what i was going to end up with until few days later a friend was over and i had it laying on kitchen table to cut jump threads and she said hey, that would make a beautiful tablecloth - the rest is history.

on the tablecloth i did not try to put colors together, just snatched and grabbed and cut and sewed. the bargello was a kit from my lqs - colors picked out by somebody there. i had to work the day of the class so my friend took the class then came to my house and gave me couple classes.

well now, how far is Gonzalez from Odessa?

sunshine randall 10-09-2010 04:23 AM
Love them both! I'd be worried about using the first as a tablecloth, though... sure wouldn't want anything spilled o it.

well, it's like this: i'm old, single, kids are grown, grand kids are grown, even great grand kids are teenagers, i don't eat at the table, i eat at the computer desk or go out mostly. great life if you don't weaken, lol.
