Primitive1 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 These were two that I asked for ideas on back in Nov and have finally finished them and gotten them out to their owners....like all of you, the rush of finishing quilts and then getting ready for Christmas has kept me busy....but here they are... The first one is an older top that she wanted finished and since the fabrics were such deep greens and reds (solids) I decided to use a variegated Christmas thread and then just stipple the block backgrounds....she loved it! The second quilt is a gorgeous wool appliqué quilt that the maker was very scared to send to a longarmer, she had always hand quilted her own quilts and needed this for a show in Jan and just ran out of time...I think I may have changed her thinking on using a longarmer as she also was very happy with it!

tootsquilts Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Vicki, I can see where the maker was very happy with the quilting. They are AbsolutelyBeautiful. I'm sure she will do good in the show in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive1 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks everyone, I have to give credit to Jessica Gamez as when I showed my client the same quilt that she quilted, my client wanted the same quilting, so I got it close...Jessica really inspires me!

Primitive1 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks! Also, thank goodness i was in VA during the tornado outbreak as it came really close to my house and did destroy one of my friend's homes...good news is that she is ok and was able to rescue most of her quilts.

judyday Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I am glad to hear from you. We were certainly bombarded here with terrible let storms. We had no damage at the ranch but dallas area was bad.my prayers go out to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnewell Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Vicki, Great quilting! I was able to acquire a huge bag of wool sweaters and would like to make a wool applique quilt for myself someday. I was wondering if the background squares were a thinner wool or homespun cotton? I've washed and felted my sweaters and also have some wool fabric scraps I've saved from various sewing projects. I've not really done a lot of researching the wool quilts though and was curious.

Debbie, I am sorry it took me so long to get back with you, I am just now reading these posts...the background if you haven't already made this quilt was homespuns, which can be stretchy but gorgeous with the wool appliqué....

MaryQuiltsTx Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Being new I am always happy when an older post pops up and I get to see beautiful work that I haven't seen before. Just not enough time to go through all the older posts. This is beautifully done Vicki and if your work didn't convert that lady to a longarm user, nothing will! Love it.
