kennan100 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Heidi, I always love your feathers! I really like the frame you put around the roses, and the hearts are the perfect shape for the open blocks. Beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 See, I told you that you had no way to go but up! Congrats on a beautiful quilting job and cut yourself out another could of blue ribbons to mount on your wall. You deserve it!!! I'd love to have several yards of the rose fabric if we knew the name of the fabric and who manufactored it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marycontrary Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Heidi, you continue to amaze me! I would never have come up with your gorgeous quilting designs on this quilt. Did you SID all the chains? Would love it if you could give us the quilting sequence. Thank you for showing us this beautiful quilt and for all the inspiration you give to everyone on this forum.

Guest LA Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Heidi, Such a lovely quilt! Congrats on a beautiful job, making your customer over the moon happy & ribbons to boot! I actually cried when one of my favorite customers took her beautiful quilt home, part of you walks out the door forever, so make sure to make at LEAST one quilt a year that you can create & pour your heart into, it does make your soul so happy! And a heritage for family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 You need to think about making a book or DVD. Your work is over the top! Congratulations on the ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Absolutely gorgeous Heidi! I hope you got a ribbon for the machine quilting too! Does anyone know where this pattern can be purchased? One of my granddaughter's would love this quilt for her 13th birthday. I've done a google search, but couldn't find any current site that carries it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Darlene, The name of the quilt is Sweet Retreat by Tammy Tadd Designs. It was published in the American patchwork & quilting magazine June 2008 issue. The fabric is no longer in print so I don't know how easy/hard it will be to find. If you do find it please let me know. Heidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marycontrary Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Found the pattern on Allpeoplequilt -- http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projects-ideas/bed-quilts/sweet-retreat_1.html You can download it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2b Quilting Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 The fabric is from Lakehouse and came out at the time of the pattern in the magazine, spring 2008. The bolts with the big roses on sold out fast at most fabric shops. It will probably be quite difficult to find any of this one. I have a friend who made the quilt as soon as the magazine printed the pattern. It was so beautiful that the local quilt shop hung it as a sample and then promptly sold out of the bolts with the big roses on. The local shop had a bolt of the black (like Bobbette's) and a bolt of white (like Heidi's customer). Both were sold out in a few weeks!! I saw Bobbette's quilt at the Milwaukee Machine Quilting Show this summer and my friend's was in the white fabric. Both color ways are absolutely stunning!! For those of you who have not seen this quilt done in person...the pictures do not do justice. My friend's was quilted with an e2e design. After seeing Bobbette's with her custom quilting and Heidi's pictures of her quilting I highly recommend that anyone taking the time and effort to piece this fantastic quilt spend the time or money to have it custom quilted.

Quilting Heidi Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Joyce I'll try to work on drawing up the quilting sequence but just haven't had time to deal with it. My tablet got a virus on it so I can't draw right now. I'll try to do it as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
