quiltmonkey 410 Report post Posted December 26, 2017 So... with me taking some time off during the holidays, I had a "stay-cation" and I a few days ago, I finished another beauty. It's a pattern designed by Judy Niemeyer called Paradise in Bloom. This one is pieced by one of my most favorite customers. She is amazing. She's 80 years old, she lives in Castle Rock Colorado and she sends me all of her (absolutely impeccably pieced) quilts to finish for her. It truly is my honor and joy to be part of this project. She is in the hospital right now, so I am keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. Love and prayers to my special friend, Sonja .... 8 2 Primitive1, Debi, anneinoz and 7 others reacted to this "Of all the things a woman's hands have made---The quilt so lightly thrown across her bed---The quilt that keeps her loved ones warm---Is woven of her love and dreams and thread." excerpt from The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt by Carrie A.

Sue E. 310 Report post Posted December 26, 2017 Your quilting is absolutely wonderful. I love Judy Niemeyer quilts and have several that need to be quilted but I am petrified to tackle them. Is this done free-motion, with the IQ, or a combination. I love what you did. 1 quiltmonkey reacted to this Sue in Phoenix, AZ Millennium with IntelliQuilterhttp://www.flickr.co...aciouscreations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sue, to answer your question, there is a combination of IQ and free motion. Lots of ruler work, too.

bartolli 10 Report post Posted December 27, 2017 This quilt is absolutely stunning, both piecing and quilting! I know how much work is putting into it because I am working on this pattern and just got the center portion done so far, it will take me a long while to finish piecing it. What a beautiful quilt!
