witha'K'quilting Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Linzi...my yurt panel is complete...binding and all. I used double batt...traditional poly over bamboo. Metro thread in 2 colors...lime green and copper...both at the same time through a single needle. This gave an interesting twisted effect. Toadsong meander for the background fill. (lime green metro only) I used my Quiltazoid to make the circles and then embellished them with feathered hearts and swirled feathers. Lime green piped binding to complete the quilt. Please tell me you are going to stay at Bonnie's for a few more days. I plan to overnight this to you on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerstin Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Wow Kristina, that's so beautiful! I like your quilting designs and the little fabric pieces looking like golden fabric, which are shining like sunbeams on your panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janette Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Wow Kristina, that is gorgeous, that two layer batting method is certainly one i will try in the future. Excellent quilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathG Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina, WOW, I love it. ?????? What size needle did you use for the two threads, and did you have any problems sorting the tension.? Love the lime green binding too !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldringading Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 That's beautiful Christina! It's amazing how different every panel is!! I hope there's good lighting at the show to catch all the gold lame pieces on all the panels...not much sun in Scotland today..unlike the Navada desert! It's going to be some sight to see!!

dgroby Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just wonderful! I love it. You did a great job. That is going to be one amazing yurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina, you have produced yet another superb and unique panel...THANK YOU!!! It is beautifully quilted and the piecing design complements all of the others in a similar but different way... I have been doodle quilting on a panel that i brought with me so it will be called yankee doodle dandy! What do you think yours will be named? I wish i had brought more panels with me... I had no time to do any at mqx but could have fitted in another one here. Might start piecing something volcanic later today. When I get home I will have to work flat out on joins, labels, roof etc and getting a roof rack or van to transport it to the show at Loch Lomond for another week away from home in mid May. Will look to get max publicity in order to get enough interest/sponsors to ship to usa. tracy & i are at Bonnie's house in NY until Thursday afternoon. It will take some time to recover from this trip financially, we went to a Walmart with large fabric clearance yesterday so will return for a proper rummage another day. Good job I brought luggage scales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina, Great panel!!! Linzi's yurt is going to be the greatest thing with all of the different, creative panels that she's made, plus all of us "stunt quilters." Linzi, I didn't name my panel yet. Since I pieced it similar to the Gee's Bend designs, I suppose that should be in the name, but need to come up with something more, as it is not really a Gee's Bend quilt. Perhaps if you show my panel to Tracy and Bonnie we can decide on a name. Gee's Bend in Oz? Or, something silly like that. Let me know if you gals have any ideas for me.

sewlinzi Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 We'll put our heads together... Maybe even something like "round the bend"?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisae Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina, that is way cool! I love the definition the double batt gives the quilting. And two threads through the needle is brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbi Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina! Awesome job! I love it! I love all the names you guys are giving them... It's so fun to see all the yurt panels come together... Linzi - just a thought, but if they don't all get done in time for the show, maybe you could hang a panel of fabric that says - "coming soon" - "delayed by volcanic ash", or something of that effect.. I'm assuming that you'll be displaying the yurt at more than one show, and that way people would want to come back to see more... It's just a thought so you can concentrate on the other important areas and not be so stressed to make it perfect... kind of a plan "B"! What do ya think?

meg Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 beautiful kristina! i love the whole thing - front & back. everytime one of these panels gets posted, it makes me want to see that yurt in person more and more. i am left wondering how someone uses 2 threads at once? needle size? do you have to quilt real slow? the idea of feeding 2 threads through Lola-baby at once makes my head spin!

RitaR Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina that is beautiful work.. Congrats!!! Also, Gees Bend Shadow, or Gees Bend Influence?? Sorta lame. ritar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Kristina, What a beautiful piece, the piecing and the quilting. Two threads, huh? Would be fun to try sometime. Linzi, how about , "Around the Bend from Gee" I do want to see this yurt dressed in all its glory. Be sure to keep the info to the top when you have something definite so we can plan our trips!
