castlejaj Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Phyllis, I took a Winding Ways class at my local quilt shop. Maybe that's why it was a little easier for me. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonflyquilts Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Okay, Have a few catch ups I need to do. Joe Ann- your quilts are beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing them. Barb- I am in school for a Medical Office Specialist Diploma. This is a career change for me. I was forced out of my old career by some bad choices on my part and my last employers. I gradute in July. I want to do transcription and billing and coding. Eventually I will be able to do them out of my house, so I can stay home and do that and the quilt business, and of course love on my babies (two cats and the dog) Judy C- your dog dressed up as the old lady makes me wanna watch reruns of Mama's family, the one with Carol Burnette in it. I was at school on break when I first saw it and I was trying to giggle quietly, when the rest of the room heard it, they came over and we had quite the giggles over it. Thanks for sharing. Also too, your yellow and blue quilt is beautiful, nice and bright. It would definetly be the center of attention to any room that it is in. Polly- you are my nemesis. When I have time .... (yeah rite) I want to try my hand out at that. I have drowled over it since before I bought my machine and said that I will do that. Maybe in the fall before the christmas rush starts I can load one up. Thanks sooooo much for sharing. Thank you all for your compliments on my new baby. He is really a doll until he sinks his teeth into my bare feet. I got the camera out earlier and he was being so good and so cute, could not resist.

Dragonflyquilts Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 This is a customers quilt that I am doing. We decided to do the inkblot pattern with clear thread. Well when the light hits the thread, it makes it look like glitter and the quilt just went from stunning to georgous.

castlejaj Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hello, Here's a customer quilt I finished yesterday. It belongs to my hair dresser who doesn't quilt/sew. Her sister made the quilt sometime ago and tied it instead of quilting it. It was used and washed so much, that all the batting was balled up in the middle of the quilt, holes in the backing caused by the ties and stained. I wish I had taken a before picture of it. So here it is, in it's second life. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ooo! Very nice quilting gals. I hope to have some pics to show after the weekend. Had my spine pop out of joint last week and quilting was a bit too painful for me. Got everything adjusted yesterday at the chiropractor, so I should be good to go. Got one put on the frame last night! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyllis Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Great pictures, girls!! I am so in love with batiks and oriental fabrics...also oriental patterns. I have a wonderful stash of oriental fabric that I may just have to make up in the Chinese lanterns pattern. It's so yummy! Thanks for sharing........Phyllis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teri Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Judy C, Is that a panto on the Irish Chain? What is the name of it, if so. It looks really nice. Way to rescue that quilt! Teri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castlejaj Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Teri, The panto is 'spin' by Jodi Beamish. This is my first time using it. It's becoming one of my favorites. Judy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltjunkie Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Judy, What is that technique on the Chinese Lantern quilt, I love the effect? Hester:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyllis Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Mmmm....I went shopping today with my oldest daughter and bought a yard each of two lucious oriental fabrics that I didn't already have. I'm gonna make that Chinese Lantern quilt someday.....soon, I hope! I'd better live 'til I'm at least 95 'cause I've got all of these quilts that I want to make. Isn't this fun!!

castlejaj Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hester, I cannot find my instructions, but basically you sew three pieces of fabric together about 8 inches wide. The middle piece is a triangle. Using a ruler, cut 2 (?) inch strips. Flip the strips upside down and this will complete the pattern. Two triangle strips are needed to form the latern.

Pam C Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Here is what I have been working on - it's my own quilt. The blocks are from a Saturday Sampler- Get one block a month. So I have been working on this quilt all of 2004. I found the medallion center in a book at the library and decided it would look good with the pieced blocks. So I resized it and used it. The fabrics are 1930's reproduction fabrics. I trapuntoed the solid white blocks, setting triangles, and the borders. I love feathers. Hope you like it. Pam Cuba Quilting Designs Genoa, NE.

JudyL Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 It makes it kinda hard to read all the messages when the photos are so big. If you have Paint, you can open your photos there and reduce under Image, then Stretch/Skew. If you don't have Paint, I'm sure there's some photo editing program that can be used!

hummingbird Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hi Pam, I love your quilt! Pattern, color, fabrics & the quilting. You did a wonderful all around job. The block you picked to enlarge & use as your medallion worked out great. Did you free hand your feathers? Mark your top? Or what? I haven't gotten brave enough to try feathers yet. About reducing the size of your photo's, I use InfanView. Very easy to use. It is a free, downloadable software from www.tucows.com. They have loads of great free software. Just go to their website, pick the system you use (Win98, XP) or whichever is yours. Then pick multimedia and you will see InfanView as their most popular downloadable.
