WOOHOO! My quilt received the "Innovation" award at my guild's quilt show
3 Attachment(s)
Last year I took a day-long class from Libby Lehman, and this quilt is the result of applying a bunch of the techniques she taught us. It received 2nd place in its category (abstract wall hanging), but got the judges nod for Innovation.
The quilt had been in the works for almost a year... the more I did on it, the more I was afraid to do, fearing I'd mess it up, so I delayed a long time between phases. I had to get up my nerve! I had so much fun experimenting with metallic threads, and trying out bobbin-work. |
Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations
|
Wow! I really like it! Is there a book out there so I can give this a try?
|
This is very lovely, very like a Sci-Fi movie effect!
What exactly is "bobbin work"? It is not a term I have heard before. |
congratulations...
nice |
Spectacular. Such a georgeous use of colors and threads. You are a star student.....
|
WOW! well deserved award!
|
Is this overlapped and then cut? What type of metallic threads did you use?
love the ribbons.....congratulations. |

Libby's original book was Threadplay; she has a DVD now as well. http://www.amazon.com/Threadplay-Lib.../dp/1564772020 Jan in VA |
Wow - this is beautiful!! Your color choices are perfect. I have that tan background fabric and love it!
Did you do this in blocks or applique? I used metallic machine embroidery thread to embelish an applique recently. I was afraid it would jam up in the machine and not work, but it was perfect. I'm anxious to continue working with it and in different colors. Great work and hugs congrats to you! |
Oh WOW! That's incredible! Awesome work & well deserved award.
