JillFrazior Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 First thing every morning with my first cuppa I check Today's Posts. I'm constantly amazed with the work all you wonderfully talented ladies & gentlemen share. Time to bite the bullet and post a picture of a quilt I recently finished. It's a little wholecloth, 24" in diameter, and I was inspired by a Jim Arndt photo found in a little book named "Cowboy Boots". After receiving permission from Mr. Arndt, George and I started playing....we had the best time. I used Irena Bluhm's color pencil technique and Renae's Rays to mark the quilting lines. This is my first picture post so hope it works. Thanks for looking, jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcck00 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 That is so cool!! I'm sure Mr. Arndt is honored to have such a beautiful fabric interpretation of his work. Wow.

Mrs.A Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Jill, that is fantastic! The coloring is really great (did everyone visit the detail shot too?) and I love the way you chose to stitch the rays in a way that mimics stitching on boots! Is the fabric cotton or silk? Love it! Thanks for sharing, Nancy in Tucson (another proud George owner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renae Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Wow!! Now that is my kind of quilting!! I love it, and the boots are great but the whole quilt is awesome.

AbigailE Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 What's the song? These boots are gonna walk right over you. Well they did because these blew me away. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 WOW, that is absolutely wonderful! I love the boots and how you "colored" them! Irena would be proud (isn't she a great teacher!). Your quilting perfectly sets off your boots. You should consider "showing" this quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillFrazior Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks, everyone for your encouraging comments. I had so much fun with this one, and the process was relatively fast...it is definitely a "keeper" I'm considering doing a series of "Boot" quilts. I just might try Sherry Rogers-Harrison's inklique technique on the next one....no need to apply textile medium to set the color. Nancy, the fabric is a Kaufman cotton/silk blend called Radiance. It's a very tight weave with a wonderful sheen and hand. Shana....I have both Renae's Rays and her Mini Rays...they are both super tools. I'm seriously considering sending an entry to Houston....have never ventured out that far, so it's a bit scary...but....nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh? Crossing my fingers. Thanks again everyone. Have a super day! jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
