I was asked a while back (on pg 18) to add these pics here, and I just got the pics taken last night. Sorry it took so long. This CW was hand stitched more than 30 years ago by my best friends mother.
The front of this CW can be found here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-88033-1.htm |

Thanks Eddie I knew it would be a lot but really like the method you use have been wanting to do a cathedral window but did not want to do so much hand work love the machine method
|
I was taught this same method except for tacking down the centers with the machine and sewing the "windows" with the machine. I'm doing one now that I designed using the cathedral window block and the secret garden block. I'm using an oriental type of fabric with gray, white and red and black. It's turning out quiet nice. I do the windows by hand and it is relaxing. I won't try the machine on the windows until the next quilt so that it'll be all the same. Thanks for the tut

This is amazing!!!! You are truly kind and generous to put this much effort into helping us-- not letting your light stay under a bushel. I must have been "cat-atonic" once because I bought several fat quarters having cat pictures on them not an idea how to use them. You've solved my problem; I will fussy cut the cats and put one in each attic 'window'. I may try plant fabric for the basic area to make the cat windows look like they are amidst the plants. Ureeka!! I too appreciate the measurements to buy the fabric. You seem like a person who finds joy in helping others. I think that is double the happiness --happiness for the person who is helped and happiness for the person doing the helping. Thank you, thank you. from zoeytoo..

Changed my mind and made it bigger than I had started out with. Thanks so much, Eddie, for a most wonderful and clear tutorial. Never would have attempted this without your very concise instructions. |
I just want to know if you are married! If not, I am available as soon as I can get there! ;D Any man that can communicate that well and be so patient- is a man of MINE! Oh... and the bonus--- HE QUILTS! Yep, I am in love!
Seriously though-- I did a quilt a few years back before I had to quit quilting (A CW is one of my FAVES!). Anyway-- I couldn't remember how to do it the 'easy' way~ although this one is not the same pattern-- it is simple and doable! I LOVE it! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and your patience! Yeah.... give me a call lmk when I can move in! LOL |
Great tutorial! Started one by hand never finished it. Your way sounds like fun. Thanks.
