chrisquilter Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 This is a customer. The pattern is by Janet Miller, The City Stitcher. I did two of these quilt., This one is the original size in the pattern. and another one was made half size. Did I take pictures of the smaller one before it went home to it's mother? NO! But anyway, here is this one. This quilt is pretty traditional and the other one was done with brighter fabrics. Loved them both!

chickenscratch Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 gorgeous. How do you ladies make those gorgeous molar feathers? I can't even figure out how to draw them, let alone quilt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyh Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Really beautiful quilting, Chris- love the choices you made. The spines on your molar feathers are so nice, did you stitch a line first or did you make the spine as you stitched the feathers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spines on your molar feathers are so nice, did you stitch a line first or did you make the spine as you stitched the feathers? Hi Cathy, I usually draw in the spines and then stitch the spine, then the feathers. However, that does not always happen. Sometimes and I stitch the spine as I do the feathers. The drawn line helps me keep in line. I really try to be consistent, but alas, not always the case LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmkeindl1 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 GREAT job! Actually you spend more time with the quilt than the person - so it could be called your "customer"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmkeindl1 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 WOW! You did a great job with all that white space! Your echo is amazing (do you use a tool or ruler?) Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, I for one, think you have a very well quilted customer! Your feathers are beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisquilter Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi Cathy, The only place I used a ruler was for the straight lines. The rest is free hand. I have M & M wheels on my Millennium and they make a great difference in my ability to control the machine. I think it would be nice to upgrade to bliss, but for now it is not in the budget. When I try bliss at the shows, it feels really loose and I wonder how I would control my machine, but I am sure I could adjust! Also, I really try to keep the rails and wheels very clean.

micajah Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Lovely quilting. I know she had to love how you made her quilt look good. It's not easy to fill in all the white spaces. Love your feathers too. I could never do feathers freehand. In my case, practice did not make perfect. You have a real talent for feathers.

whitepinesquilter Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Such beautiful quilting - love your molar feathers and quilting choices. I'm with Teresa - I have a hard time drawing them let alone make them look so perfect like you've done. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
