ffq-lar Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Click on the Flickr link to view a very traditional DP quilt. The owner is a great modern/art quilter with a flair for color and unusual patterns. This one is so not her "normal" in any way. She wanted a full traditional treatment with feathered wreaths and "almost hand quilting" designs. It was her idea to overlay the feathers on the plates, if you can see them. It gave a spin to them. Feathered wreaths in the negative spaces--all freehand after some circle marking. Then a dense-ish stipple. I tried another filler and it didn't work well, so I started again. Wool batting, BottomLine in taupe, tan, and red, BL bobbins. The wool batting caused a bit of cupping when I stitched the curved parts of the feathers in the plates, but she'll block it before hanging and I think that will take care of it. Thanks for looking--arrow right for a detail shot. https://www.flickr.com/photos/larech/13999846135/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I never would have noticed you put feathers in the plates if you hadn't told me. I loved the way you outlined them too. It really makes them stand out. Wish I had thought to do that with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna Turner Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 WOW it is just beautiful. Phil and I just set up my new Millie yesterday with all the goodies. I have never longarm quilted before but do a lot of quilting and embroidery, so this is a new venture for me and I am nervous but excited. I know it will take a lot of practice but I taught myself to digitize embroidery designs and how to quilt and have taught both for about 6 years. Now it is back to learning. I have also ordered Intelliquilter as I just felt it would be the next natural step with my digitizing background. Already have Art n Stitch and have done all the tutorials and several design layouts just waiting to get my system. Today's my day to play and hopefully I don't break anything. I have read many of the posts on the list and have learned so much so a big thank you to you all.
