pumpkinpatchquilter Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just finished this early this evening - I'm so happy with it! Definitely some things I will do differently next time, but over all I am really tickled. It is still wet from removing the markings so it's a bit see through still. Yesterday I bought enough muslin to make a king size whole cloth for my bed...I think I'm hooked!

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thank you guys!!! I had so much fun with this. I really learned a lot about designing one of these. I'm so glad I did a mini before jumping right into the big one - I think it will be even better because I've learned what pops and what really doesn't...also what is easier to stitch with the machine I have! We had a rough go at first by I love my long arm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Awww **mush mush mush** - you all are the best! Thank you so much!!! I am SO happy to finally feel in like I'm in sync with my machine now too. I have SO much respect for long arm quilters now that I have one and see what goes into it. It has opened up a whole new world of fun for me though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm just smiling and smiling away over here! I LOVE what you've done. It's fun to follow your progress, Valerie! You have given me, and probably lots of others, so much inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie H Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Don't admire what I do too much. I'm so-so on a good day. Check out the yucky feathers in my please help post. Just can't seem to get the hang of them when I stitch a wavy spine in a larger border and then quilt the feathers if they are too long. I wanted to take them out and then the client called and wondered if I was done? And I was just starting and already wanting to rip them out!

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Your quilting is beautiful! I completely understand your struggles with large feathers - I don't think it's you - I have come to the conclusion that feathers are easier on a smaller scale. My large feathers look crazy. I think it's harder to "feel" your way back to your starting point - the spine. It has helped me to do densely packed bump bump feathers for larger feathers and to mark them first. I just cannot for the life of me quilt larger feathers free hand! Don't admire what I do too much. I'm so-so on a good day. Check out the yucky feathers in my please help post.
