9patch Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Tell us more about how you did this, Sherry. It is spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praise Works Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Great job, as per usual, Sherry. Does it go without saying that you've chosen PhotoShow (I seem to remember you were "looking" for something other than webshots)? Are you happy with it? Easy to use? Sure presents your quilt in a neat way . . . (hope this isn't a rabbit trail topic.) If you have a "blurb" about it, I'd be interested to know.

bennyjo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Sherry, you do beautiful work and there is no doubt it was a tremendous amount of work. I am just getting started so have a long way to go but I do envy you for your beautiful work. Maybe one day I can come close to what you and others are doing every day.

SherryRogers Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Good Morning! Golly, ya'll are much too kind! Thank you for all your kind comments! Sue, I will NEVER do another of the same! Although this quilt was done freehand, these designs are best suited for those of you with a computorized system. There was an awful lot of backtracking to make everything continuous. There were 143 plain blocks and Lord only knows how many stars! Manda I hope the above answers your question. Practice, patience and persistance play an important role in my quilting style. I started longarm quilting 11 years ago and am still developing my skills. I just plain ol LOVE the art of quilting and designing! Linda After designing the quilting I marked the border with the blue water soluble pen using a lightbox. The Butterfly feather blocks were done individualy by dividing each block into sections. (I used the new Marvy air soluble pen for this). I started in the center and worked around each section to complete the motif. The straight lines in the stars and the stitch in the ditch were done prior to quilting the motifs. The diamond cross hatching was done using my Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend ruler. Hope this helps you understand my process, if not just holler and I will try to be more specific. Sherry O The Photoshow software is really easy to use and fun to see the pictures in motion. In my opinion it is not near as great a tool as Webshots because there is no search feature, no guestbook and no way of knowing if anyone has veiwed the pictures. Webshots is still the best tool we have...unfortunatly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltbuddy Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Wow, thanks for sharing with us! With all those distractions you had it didn't seem to make any effect on your workmanship one bit, can't believe that with so many stops and starts your quilting all looks perfect. I was wondering how one gets on your "friends" list! Was also wondering that if you were making this for a paying customer, approx. how much/inch would you be charging? You are an inspiration for all, Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Oh WOW! It is stunning. I too really want specifics..............can you share more about the diamonds and the ruler you used? Can I come take a class with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
