Judi Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 LOVE IT! That is just wonderful! I must figure-out that basket weave and do that on something - WOW! Once again you have inspired me! Thanks for sharing - I am looking forward to the photo show as well! Can I ask at what level you charge for quilting like this? I know it is custom - but do you charge an hourly rate or by the square yard or inch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherryRogers Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks for looking girls! Nadia, this was all freehand, no compuquilter...yet! Judi, This one is free of charge...since I own it and get this..I PIECED IT TOO (shock of all shocks) ! However, if I was charging, I charge by the sq. inch. Based on the density of the quilting, this one would be 5-6cents per inch and then I add in thread use and batting. Linda, You can bet I will be using the basket weave again! I saw this done on a quilt in Houston and just had to try it on my own quilt. I sent pictures to Ronda and Jill to see as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sherry, Your lime quilt is such an inspiration! Did you use two layers of batting? What type of batting do you prefer, 100% cotton, 80/20%, poly? Thanks for sharing. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Germany's awake! LOL Good to hear from you gals! Thank you very much, so glad you like it. Tina, what a treat to hear from you as well! Sandra, I used one layor of Hobbs Poly Down. I prefer to use a poly or Poly blend as I like the stitch definition I get. My newest favorite is Quilters Dream Puff but I am out and need to order more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragonLady Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 That is absolutely stunning, gorgeous, breathtaking, etc. I want my quilt tops to come to your house for a visit! I can't machine quilt at all, so I'm waiting (probably a looooong time) for a longarm. I have a big pile of tops. The piecing is fantastic as well, and I just love the green.

Connie51 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sherry - just, gorgeous as all your work is! awesome! please share - what batting are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 UNREAL its so beautiful! So Sherry, do you pre-mark the basketweave? Or are you doing that free hand as well..? I'd be afraid i'd make one 3 inches, and the next 3 1/4...etc. I just love it! Just had to sit and stare at it for like 10 min drooling! LOL!!!

countrystitcher Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Bless your Kermit green feathers -- this is truly amazing. I just can't believe what definition you get with your quilting. Someday......last night I tried a feather wreath in a 15" block and needless to say it came out immediately. Guess I'll use a pattern and follow the lines again....is this a crutch, yes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Simply beautiful like all your work. I hope someday to be this good. It is just stunning!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnuGram Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sherry: THis is just too gorgeous for words!!! Talk about taking a well known pattern and then turning it into a masterpiece with the quilting!! WOW! Question: I can't see what is behind the basket weave (which is so very cool!) -- is it micro stippling or a pattern? thanks for sharing Sara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
