ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 ...Do you know this feeling: I?ve sent this quilt back to the customer and now I?m waiting for a reaction and a response! Here are some pictures......I know, out of this chat I will get an answer;) ( Hope so;)) Best wishes from over the ocean..... Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Claudia, Did you use the gold metallic thread or is that a variegated with gold in it? The quilting is just gorgeous. That gold color really shows up against the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 The huuuuge "fields" of orange I didn?t like very much, so I used a variegated Rainbow-thread (golden,red,green and turquoise) to "break" up these fields! And I quilted half circles at bottom and top - you will see on my webshot - to fill the space! I was a challenge , I have to tell;) Best wishes....

Guest LA Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Claudia! The quilts that you do are so very beautiful! I think the colors are great, it really pops & stands out.

LindaSusieQuilts Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 OH my that was a bright one to work on........ did you have to wear sun glasses? (I am thinking it would have given me more of a head ache than I have had) Beautiful work...... the thread sure helped tone down the orange... it gave the eye something to look at other that looking at the sun effect that just the orange would have.

quiltjunkie Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Claudia, Once again your quilting is just fantastic, can't belive your customer hasn't made any comments, but maybe she's speechless..But I think you Germans are all a little "off center" don't you know how to make any normals quilts? or are you all trying to out do each other..The quilts you show are always just spectacular!!

suzakel Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Dear Claudia, Your quilting is GORGEOUS, as always. When you stitched the half circles, did you use a tool? Or can you explain how you did that? Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilting! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi Sue and all! Thank you all for your nice comments! I used - it was my first try - Renae?s arcs for quilting the circles, and I used Renaes?s ray for drawing the lines around the circles! It was really fun! The diamonds in the sashing I?ve quilted with Sherry Rogers? triangle ruler. Wonderful gadgets - I don?t want to miss them!:cool: Hey Hester! Yeaaahhh - we German are a little bit funny:cool: - of course there are normal quilts , but whenever I want to do a "normal" one, I can?t stop myself;):cool: Have a great day.... Best wishes from over the ocean.... Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Claudia you are so very talented. You have one of the best eyes for color. Nothing you quilt is less than beautiful.

ramona-quilter Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Claudia, Beautiful work. So many circles. You've given me inspiration to drag my Renae's Rays out of the closet and try some work. Your quilting sparkles like magic. I know your customer will love it. Thanks for sharing.

SherryRogers Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Can you feel the gasps of awe while we all gaze upon your works of art? It is STUNNING as usual Claudia, your work blows me away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedogquilts Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi Claudia, Don't ever be afraid of your work. I'll take that fabulous quilt if the maker doesn't like it. As an art gallery owner I have the undaunghting task of turning away artists works and than again someone will walk in and everything shouts out loud from the piece. This is one of those. And you just added the right amount of pazzazz to make it even better. I would hang it in a flash at my gallery and ask any price you would desire.

PattyJo Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Beautiful & inspiring, both in color & stitching. I'll get in line with all of those above me that would be glad to have that quilt!!! Somehow though, I don't think that is going to happen. If the owner doesn't just love it, I'll be very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 My customer is reaaaally happy! She phoned me today and she was really excited - and I lost a "big rock" of my heart! Sorry for those who wanted the quilt in the other case:D;) Thank you all for your wonderful words...... Gone quilting again....
