Janette Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks so much for all of your lovely comments, honestly I think on this one the photos do it more justice than in real life (you can't see the bloopers !!!) I confess although I did learn from Adams DVD that I didn't actually watch it to the end which I probably should have done as I would have learned more background fills, and it is nothing about the DVD content, but something about his voice kept making me fall asleep each time, but once I watched the basic principles I doodled from there onwards. I needed the DVD though for sure.... although I am pretty sure this is beginners luck! Thanks for giving my ego a bit of a needed boost..... As for my carriage, between quilting this I was there with the spanners tightening and loosening and pulling my hair out !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilted charm Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Very very nice! I guess it's true we are hard on ourselves. I don't notice any of the "oops" you mention. It's just plain pretty eye candy for sure. I have one I drew out in a class with Karen McTavish, but I've not even attempted to put it on the frame yet. The pens she recommends must be awesome, cause I've had it for 2 years, and can still see all the marks just fine. Too bad you actually have to get it quilted to call it a whole cloth huh? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltfarm Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Magnificent, truly magnificent. I am laughing, I read you were falling asleep, something about quilting DVD's puts me to sleep too, seems to just lull me right off to the land of nod. Thanks for showing the quilt, your style is beautifully elegant. A wholecloth is on my 'to do' list, you've really made me want to get to it.

I love to watch any and all quilters and am most interested and mesmerised..... it's always the best sleep I ever had....LOL....to the sound of a longarm....music to my ears!

Heirloom Quilter Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Janette, I love, love , love your quilt. Two weeks ago I was in Orlando at a class with Karen McTavish and bought her book "Whitework Quilting" on how to make a whole cloth quilt. You give me inspiration to actually try it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work in progress. I'm anxious to see how you finish your borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
