tchamberlain1 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I have had this on machine for so long, I can't remember when I first started it. I think it's been 6 or 7 weeks. I work full-time and it required so much quilting that I couldn't do it quickly. Anyway, it's almost done. I took it off to turn it so I can finish the beadboard quilting on the sides. QD wool batt, So Fine and Bottom Line threads. Let's see if I can attach pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Tina, Job well done! I want to applaud you for taking the time that that quilt deserved! ;) You did it justice and I think the time you spent on it is so worth it! Is it your own quilt or a customers quilt? Either way the owner is lucky to have it! I'm working on a wall hanging for a customer and so not going to make anything on this one but the gal has lost her husband this year and if it puts a smile on her face then it will be worth it! Her wall hanging just demanded that I do custom heirloom on it and that is what I'm doing! Great job!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tchamberlain1 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks for the lovely comments. I definitely didn't make any money on this quilt. It is for a customer who saw my work on a previous one and had to have me do hers. That is a huge compliment. We decided on the XH instead of the McTavishing I did on the last. The XH is beautiful but I did not go through the embroidery which meant thousands of stops and starts. I jumped the applique and spent hours trimming threads on the front and back. I think the end result is spectacular but I certainly don't want to do another one for quite some time. This was a BOM/embroidery club with Husquvarna sewing machines. There is a ton of money invested in these quilt tops so they definitely deserve a custom treatment. My fee is going up for sure if I do any more. Here's a pic of the one I did last year. It won a Top 10 award at our quilt show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindasewsit Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Very pretty that way too!! I know what you mean about the starts and stops! I finished one recently that in the cross hatching alone there was over 1500 start, stops and knotting and burying! And it was only 9 blocks! It also had hand embroidery and I did not go thru it . But, it was worth it! Her quilt got 1st place in that size catogory at our quilt show this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
