I had never heard of nor seen whole cloth quilting before, I am amazed. What talent and patience you have. Do you use a purchased pattern or do you design these yourself? I'm blown away!!
It's not a purchased pattern, I designed the combination of patterns by myself by using one stencil, freehand quilting and of course some rulers for the grids etc. I love to use traditional british quilting patterns that I find on pictures of quilts in books. Normally you can't buy these patterns in ready-to-use stencils, you have to draw them by yourself and make stencils or templates out of it. For small patterns like little feathers or leaves I often use freehand quilting and freehand drawing. This is not so difficult like it looks like! Skills improve the longer you use it.
I am not a very patient person I must admit. But I am ambitious and it is always a big challenge for me to finish a quilt. I love to touch them, to look at the structures and I am very thankful and happy that I have the talent to do it.

That is beautiful - I have a pattern that I ordered for wholecoth, but I have not gotten the material yet for it, especially since it is queen size. I hope one day to be half as good as you are. I love your work and you are a real inspiration to me.

Yes, I work at a 18" hoop on a stand, a Jasmine one. Because I always quilt in one direction - towards my body - I have to turn the quilt while working on it.
