Patch Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Could anybody please post pictures of what "heirloom quilting" looks like? Somewhere I saw it described as quilting specific to the quilt design, instead of all-over quilting. But a lot of all-over quilting I've seen certainly looks like heirloom quality to me..... What do you all say about this? I'm so new to all these ideas and I just want to get it figured out for future pricing etc. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Heirloom quilting is something that results in a quilt you would consider a family heirloom. Most likely something that has trapunto, feathers, intricate detail. A bit more of a step up from full custom. This would usually be a wholecloth or a meticulously pieced quilt that has room for extra flourish. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Patty, Well, there are many many talented quilters out there who do beautiful stuff. I don't want to name names because I would forget someone and feel bad about it. Off the top of my head, our very own APQS staff such as Myrna Ficken, Sherry Rogers-Harrison, (name removed), Darlene Epp, Karen McTavish, Claudia Clark Meyers, Marilyn Badger, Dawn Cavanaugh, and all you other APQS staffers...etc...they do gorgeous work. Linda Steller's wholecloth that she made in memory of her mom -- that is a beautiful heirloom piece. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2168431880069669208zVfsKq Personally, I consider anything that Kimmy Brunner does is pretty much heirloom quilting. She's awesome. I start to drool when I look at Kimmy's stuff. I require a hand towel or bib under my mouth to help mop up my chin area while I am looking at her quilting. Here are just a few fine examples of her work. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1288272128039390773fDPKDS http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1167731281039390773nnJbIz http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1438826202039390773TwvWkM http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1501332026039390773bpIthY Click on this link to view the APQS gallery. There are some nice examples of heirloom style quilting in here. I think it mentions the artist's name in the photo area of the page: http://www.apqs.com/photos.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Wow, Linda, Shana is right, that is stunning! How beautiful a work to do in memory of your mom. I know she is so proud of you! I just kept gasping at some of Kimmy Brunner's quilts. My land, could I ever do that? I'll have to enjoy the APQS photos later, though it's almost impossible to tear myself away, LOL! I really hope I will be able to learn how to do that eventually. Wow.
