jmcclannan Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I have my quilt top done but I'm waiting for my Bliss to be installed before working on it. Complicating things is my trip to Jordan the last two weeks of July. Oh, I'm stressed! Thanks a lot Mary Beth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 OK so Mary Beth my stencil doodle worked out. My customer stopped by tonight to drop off a new backer because her 1st one was too small and I showed her my doodle for her quilt. She loved it so I will have a quilt queen for the challenge! It goes on the frame next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy Quilting Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 So if I have only used the stencil to do the spines on different feathers does it count? Well they are three different groups of feathers using the original stencil (or parts of it) I made as the spine. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Farnham Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks for the Reminder MaryBeth!! I have it all planned out in my head, Just need to get it onto some fabric and and get that puppy quilted. Been getting ready for Shop Hop this weekend. Quilting round the clock for the past week. After the first of the month, I'll only have customer quilts to work on so I can get started on this Challenge. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Thanks again Mary Beth for putting this challenge out there. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Mary Beth, I did try using a stencil for a small wall-hanging, used ponce to mark it and this is what I learned.... I am TOO spoiled by my Circle Lord. The quilting came out just okay, but my design sense (with the stencils) was just not there, just could not think how to creatively do this. So... I am glad for this CHALLENGE because it certainly was a challenge and made me think out of the box and use some tools that I've never used before. But I definitely do NOT see me being passionate about stencils (like I am about my CL stuff!!) PS I am grateful for your efforts, I did learn from this Challenge! Thank you, Mary Beth! And I will post the quilt before the deadline and after I get it bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hawaii Barbara (I love saying that) I am so glad you tried! At least you gave it a go and now you know. However, just like everything else in quilting...PPP Don't you get tired of hearing that? I know, I love my CL too and it is extremely easy to put a design right were you want it. Sometimes you need a desing that compliments a quilt in a certain way, lets say Celtic. And yes, CL has a Celtic design, but what if it isn't the right size or what if it doesn't fit in a border? That is where a stencil comes in. Stencils are not for everyone, but if you try them, you might decide that you have been missing out on using a really great tool that is usually very easy to use.

Quilting Heidi Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Mary Beth, Not to worry I bought enought stencils for the both of us! LOL it was great fun. I warned the girls I was with that I would be an hour and I think it was about that long. My friend kept pointing ones out to me and I'd say, "I have that one." LOL she just got to where she would say, "I know you have that one." I looked for ones today that basically give you elements to add to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
