KathyA Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I was at the World of Quilts show in Manchester today and saw an amazing piece of art - Ferret's Greek Fossil Quilt (hope I got that right). Loved every inch of it. Beautiful. Wish I had taken a pic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ferret, that is one awesome quilt!!! I would love to see it in person so I could really appreciate the stitching, instead of just seeing it on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I can put a detail photo up on my blog, but if I put it here it will need scaling down usually. It will probably be tomorrow though as I have just put up a long post about the art quilt I am working on I am so hoping someone goes to the show and gets a photo for me Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Orr Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I can't help but keep going back to look at your quilt picture over and over and over again. It is that stunning! Your work is amazing. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 You should see it's big brother. That's the test piece for the one I am working on at the moment. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyA Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ferret - one of the gals I was with did take a photo - she just doesn't do the computer thing. As soon as she has the photos printed I'll get it scanned and posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 The only pictures are of bits of it, I'm trying to keep it fairly hidden until it's first show http://ferfab.blogspot.com/2011/08/middle-is-nigh.html http://ferfab.blogspot.com/2011/08/somewhat-distracted.html http://ferfab.blogspot.com/2011/08/mostly-wholecloth-day.html That seems to be all I've put up, I thought there was another but I can't find it.

Ferret Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I've put the detail photo up on my blog, you need to click on it to see it full size but you can them see most of the stitches. http://ferfab.blogspot.com/ Have fun Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borderline Quilter Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 It's a beautiful quilt Ferret, Again 'Congratulations' on your win.....I missed this quilt at Foq last year so wonder if you could give me the dimensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Greek Fossils hasn't been to FoQ yet, it might make it next year though. It's 80"x60" approximately. It may be an inch or 2 less on either axis. It's the size of the piece of fabric I happened to have Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Orr Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 The up close picture that shows the details is amazing! It is truly a masterpiece to be proud of. I love how your thread choices changes and enhances the definition and dimension of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
