ffq-lar Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Beth Durand is hosting a post-Innovations de-briefing at her studio next Sunday. We plan to compare classes and instructors, hotels, and the best places to have dinner! I am sure she will post info before then. She looked great in the APQS booth! Sherry Rogers-Harrison attended the dinner and I happened upon her on Friday as she was having Lollapalooza appraised by Beverly Dunivent. This quilt is more breathtaking in person than you can imagine. It is stitched and inked to perfection, but what amazed me was the design. It swoops and swirls and goes inside and out--all very carefully and precisely--wow!! Designs flow around and are compressed and expanded--it boggles my mind! Then her "filler" designs are miniscule interlocking circles stitched with gold thread. She should do well with it as long as the big shows can figure which category to place it in--it is so new-new-new! Good luck Sherry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetwoquilt Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 ps Shana, what is the gold thread that you used in your christmas quilt? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi Lani, I used a whole bunch of different threads on that Christmas quilt---King Tut, Rainbows, So Fine and lots of different brands of cottons, metallics, some were variegated, some were solids -- you name it---whatever was at my finger tips and I was spontaneous with the moment and just had fun with it. Each separate block had different types of threads in it. The gold thread was most likely a Metallic made by Superior. I used monopoly in the bobbin with all of these threads, which helped hide any potential of pokies that might possibly show through, and it worked well. This was one of my first quilts so I practiced a lot of techniques I learned as a beginner quilter while using a variety of threads and designs. All of the applique is trapunto (I never did trapunto before!) so piecing and quilting this project was a great learning experience for me!

rduncan Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Shana, I love that Christmas quilt! Will you do one for me? I would like to have a Christmas quilt for every bed in the house, but... Guess I better start collecting fabric. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 The quilts were all fabulous!! I so enjoyed looking at everyone of them.
