    For this quilt I use the method of needlemarking again. You don't see the markings any more when the quilting is finished, that is the reason why I prefer this method! Nothing to remove!
    I have a plan (just in my mind...) which patterns I want to use and how to arrange them. For the first pattern ("flat iron") I have a selfmade half template for the oval shape and a small template for the rose at the bottom. The feathers and spirals are quilted free hand with almost no markings. The leaf in the second picture and the fern in the third are selfmade templates as well. The double lines are done freehand.

    I like it a lot do quilt with only a few markings, that gives me plenty of freedom for designing during the process of quilting.
    ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WORK. You are a true artist. I love hand quilting, but have never been able to achieve this - when I 1st looked at it, I thought it was so perfect it must be machine.

    What is "needlemarking"? I usually lightly trace a pattern from a template & by the time the quilt is finished, the lines hardly show. Also, what size needle to you use?

    I am in awe of your talent. Thanks so much for sharing

    One more question - what type of frame/hoop, etc. do you use?

    Andrea,

    Your work, as always, is stunning! I wished you lived closer so I could take some lessons from you!

    Michele, your work is absolutely amazing, do you draw the patterns,or do you copy them from a pattern.
    And thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
