pumpkinpatchquilter Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I was honored to be asked by fellow board member Joyce Coburn to quilt her lovely quilt made of reproduction civil war fabrics. This top was absolutely stunning before quilting...I hope that I did her beautiful piecework justice! I cannot tell you how scary it is to quilt for another long arm quilter...but I really adore how it turned out...and I think she does too! 20150119_132602 by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr 20150117_150053 - Copy by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr 20150119_132610 - Copy by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr 20150119_132621 by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr 20150119_132657 - Copy by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr 20150119_132703 by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr 10931446_925187000827887_270644651544551246_n by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltingjoyful51 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 How do I name such a beautiful quilt? Any ideas would be welcome. My quilt story is: I got my small block designs on a vacation to a family reunion, the background fabrics were a birthday FQ exchange in my quilt group and my setting design was a facebook free pattern. I worked on it a couple years to get it just right. I had it hanging months before I decided to see if Valerie Smith would quilt it. I am very pleased with the end result. I will lable it as a wedding gift to my 10 year old grandson. That gives me lots of time to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue E. Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Oh my goodness. This quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Valerie your quilting is stunning and I don't know why you were nervous about quilting it. You always do amazing work. I want to be you when I grow up (and I'm a lot older than you are!)

dbustle Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Valerie - Your quilting is amazing! I want to be you when I grow up, too!! I am just learning and am happy when my circles are close to being round instead of square. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW Quilter Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Valerie, As usual, your quilting is so stunning! You are making quite a name for yourself in the quilting realm! I love seeing your work...keep posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW Quilter Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Joyce, What a wonderful idea to label this beautiful quilt as your grandson's wedding gift! I'm sure when the time comes, he will treasure it! Lucky guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkinpatchquilter Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am out of likes - but thank you all for the positive comments. I love that Joyce is giving this as a gift to her Grandson - and I love her idea more of having it around for a few years to enjoy!! It was an absolute honor to be a part of this quilts history. I know Joyce is quite talented in her own rite, so it really meant a lot to me to work on this for her. Sue (in Scottsdale ) your comment made me smile. I am always the youngin' in the group - though I'm sprouting gray hairs that I attribute to those wonderful machine breakdowns!! LOL It means so much to hear such positive comments from my quilting peers - the same folks who inspired me so much to quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie H Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I got a giggle out of the "fellow board member" description...I was thinking a board member of a company!! Duh me. LOL Valerie, the quilting is beautiful, as always! And Joyce, I love those blocks!! Are they all different? The setting is just beautiful. I'm not a civil war fabric fan but quilt this has me changing my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
