Oma Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm not new to the group, I frequently lurk here and ooh and ahh over everyone's quilts, I've just never posted before. I get such inspiration from you all and I've learned so much. I've had my Liberty for a couple of years now. I found it right here on this forum. Pretty amazing. I wanted to share a pic of a quilt I finished this morning (I hope I figured it out and it shows up). One of the things I'm thankful for is finding all of you and for all of you being so kind hearted and willing to share. Happy Thanksgiving. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oma Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Thank you...I kept trying. That's a HUGE picture. Should I make it smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oma Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'll go take a couple. Please understand that I am self-taught and no where as good as most of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Your quilt is beautiful, Oma! It incorporates so many elements that I especially like, including your fabric choices. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm not sure how to post more pics. Do I start a new post? Also, it's hard to get good pics of quilting because most of it was SID or over all meandering. I outlined the birds and meandered around them. I SID all of the strip pieces and around the foundation piecing and all of the arcs. It screamed for more and better than what I did, but sometimes good is good enough. I'm dealing with a flare up of asthma. She is going to USE this quilt every day. Oh...I did embroider her label. Nothing fancy. I do wish I had changed my bobbin thread to gray or taupe. Hind sight! I used gold on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFQuilts Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Oma, Your quilts are lovely - I especially like this one. Thank you for posting pictures. Quit beating yourself up over not being as good as some of the quilters on the forum. Some of these folks have been at LA'ing for a while. Some are naturally gifted. All of us require practice. I'm still at the point where every quilt teaches me something. As I say, hindsight is 20-10. But it is ever so much better to be learning as we go than terrified of touching our machines and just letting them collect dust. Keep pictures of your work. On a tough day, it's comforting to go back and see how much you've learned. Welcome to the forum! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 WOW! This quilt is stunning! I also love your label. It adds such a great touch to an already beautiful quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 All of my quilts get labels any more. I only sew for family or friends and I want them to know it was made special for them and when and that it was from me. Besides I have to utilize that big old expensive embroidery machine I have.
