jeanros Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 What a gorgeous quilt, I love the colors and the quilting is wonderful. I guess I have a way to go, how long has she been LAing? Thank you for sharing. Jean Millennium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Oh, my gosh, let me get on my knees. The marriage of high level abilities in both applique and longarm is stunning. I love all the LA shapes which are so confidently stitched. I'm going to get my sketchbook out and try some of those shapes. Geraldine - Is there any way of printing out the detailed picture? I'd like to save it for a collection of styles to emmulate. Thanks. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyllis Wright Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 That was just GORGEOUS! I love the bright colours on black, and the quilting is superb. Phyllis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Great job on both applique & quilting. I love a black background with colorful applique. This quilt is very impressive......:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 It is a stunning quilt. I have questions. How long did it take to piece it, more specifically, the applique? And what thread (brand & color) did you use to quilt it? It almost looks variegated in a couple of spots but then it looks like silver. I love the techniques that you used. It is, hands down, the best applique quilt I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Wow it is just beautiful! The quilting just accentuates the applique perfectly! Hope that someday I will be able to do work like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k8 Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 To answer the questions (sorry I was gone for a few days...): Terry has been quilting for 5 years - everything she does is custom/semi-custom. She does almost NO stipple (puzzle piece) but fills areas with her unique style of shapes and echos. She is very artistic and that certainly helps. The quilt is my sister's - her name is Karol Saxberg from Oregon - and yes it belongs in some shows! She will start the process soon. She did all the needle turn applique with silk thread (12-15 stitches to the inch, I might add!!) at a handwork club she belongs to - it meets for a couple hours once a week - and it took over six years. She did NOT plan each block, but had a huge selection of fabric scraps and picked up fabrics as she went just trying not to have the same in an area. The thread used for quilting was a variagated in the border area (superior rainbow #814) which came out into the field to blend them together.... and a gray green (rheingold 677 662)in the field. She had a slightly different fabrick in the border than the field and I thought they needed to blend seamlessly rather than stopping at the border seam - thus the thread choices. I love color and that's usually my contribution to Terry's quilting. Watch for this quilt!!! I bet it will at least get some attention at shows, lol.

Judi Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Kathy - WOW!! What an AWESOME quilt!! LOVE the applique and the quilting - as everyone has already said - but hey - just beautiful and needs to be said again and AGAIN!!! Thanks so much for sharing the photos!! Your sister did well - hope that it wins MANY ribbons! I work of labor and love like that - 6 years?!?!? Wow! Way to go! Not sure that I would have been able to stick with it that long to make a full quilt! I was going to mention that when I put my mouse arrow over a photo, a little pop-up window appears and I can either print out that photo or email it to me or what ever. Very handy when you want to try something out at a different time when you can play! Never fails that I am in the middle of a cusomters quilt when I see something new I want to try!!
