I showed this to my husband who loves sail boats. He says, "I want one". He never said that before, after seeing any quilt. Wow we are all impressed here! Love it.
|
amazing quilt and talent
|
Truly gorgeous! Now THIS is one quilt I would get mad at if anyone did anything even remotely "dirty" around it.
|
Have a question how many hours did you put into this quilt ...I am just starting to applique Noah's Ark and I just have one block done and have put in hours of labor.
|
omg! most stunning job on both your parts. kudos
|
that is not a quilt it is a piece of art. one of the most beautiful one i have ever seen. helps to love sailing ships, lighthouses, ect. guess it helps being married to a naval man for 35 years and living on the east coast of canada. nothing like it and you captured the beauty of all of it. congrats. i can't say enough so i am going to stop now. lol
|
Wow! Every bit of the work in this quilt is exquisite! A true showstopper if I ever saw one.
|
I just recently won a ribbon for a panel quilt in Montana, and it does not hold a candle to that beauty. Wow Wow Wow
|
You did this quilt beautifully! What thread did you use for the tiny pebbles? It almost looks pearlized.
|
Well, had I read the whole post, I'd know it was Silk thread from Superior! Now, you are making me go buy some!

I am always grateful when I get to be a part of a quilt that will be treasured for a long time. So, this quilt was "simple" in the fact that I didn't have to think much about what I was doing. I had to draw a ton of lines, 1/4 straight lines on a 45 degree angle got a little tiring. Each block, from start to finish took me around 1 hour, some took longer than that. So, just in block work it was around 16 hours. The rest of the quilting, mostly pebbling took me 43 hours. So, 59 hours total to complete this quilt. Amazingly enough, I enjoyed the pebbling more than I enjoyed the straight stitching. Although, my back was aching for a few hours after each quilting session. It's all worth it in the end as you can see the applique pop and become the showcase it needs to be. I used two layers of batting - I don't use one layer anymore - but for this quilt I used a wool batting and a Hobbs 80/20 batting. I think it worked out beautifully. I used Kimono Silk Thread by Superior Threads for the first time. I have to say, I loved it! It's a strong, durable thread and super thin. I didn't have any problems with the thread and I am sure I will use it again. It's a little more pricey, but I think it is worth it for your masterpiece quilts. This was done freehand on my A-1 Longarm.

What an outstanding project! The quilt is unbelievably beautiful and the quilting completes the picture. Kudos!
|
Fantastic quilting for a fantastically pieced and appliqued top. Great partnership!!
|
Could you please email me these photos [email protected] I have some girlfriends at work who are just beginning to quilt and I would love to show them just what is possible. I think this is the most beautiful quilt and quilting job that I have ever seen. I am in awe of both your talents!! This should be on display somewhere and entered into many many exhibitions. It is a definite winner of the gold medal.
Thanks very much for your time and talents. |
Wonderful marriage of applique and quilting, thus creating a masterpiece.
|
Unbelieveably beautiful. I've never seen any quilt as beautiful as yours
|
Beyond words. So very gorgeous.
|
There are no sufficient adjectives, just so lovely, both the applique and the quilting........
|
You've just got to enter it into Road to California quilt show!!!! Probably too late for this year but next year absolutely. www.road2ca.com
This is one of the premier quilt shows which is in January. |
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! That is INCREDIBLE!!! :) :) :) :) :) I actually have had the pattern and kit for this quilt for about a year because I LOVE it so much, but I am a bit intimidated by it and haven't started yet! You're beautiful photos and quilting are inspiring me though! GORGEOUS!!!
