quilterscafe 1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I see a ribbon in my crystal ball! Its fantastic! I love the way the quilting with the colored threads makes it look like the design is part of the fabric, its too incredible. I've never seen anything like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellysuequilter 0 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I am impressed. It sure does provide me with a lot of inspiration and the courage to try new things! We have a whole cloth quilt contest going on with our long arm group, this gives me a whole new perspective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sandra Darlington 117 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Responding to Linda from Ramona...I took two classes from Irena Bluhm in Paducah this spring. I saw many of her beautiful quilts!!! (Also, she is quite a lovely person and so very excited to teach her classes. She's great to be around.) Ferrett, Irena stitches her whole cloth quilts and then paints them, both back and front. They are amazing. It is certainly a different technique than you are using, but you may want to check out how innovative her work is, too. You definately have many ribbons coming your way with your unique style and talent. Sandy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dancingstitcher 0 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Stunning to put a modern twist on the traditional white whole cloth. You can do anything with a new view. It's great that you have been blessed with so much creativity because it helps stretch all of us. Well done. Vicki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PattyJo 92 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 How inventive. Glad that you posted these pics - it opens up another door for my mind. Your quilts are amazing. And what catagory should your nudes have gone into. Looked like pictures to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annie-melrose 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Awesome!! It took me till I read the posts to figure out it was all done with thread, incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judi 9 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ferret - It has already been said but - - WOW !!! I LOVE this quilt!! You have just made my kind of wholecloth! I think I could do this! It looks just great! I have seen so many white or off-white / ivory wholeclothes.... Now don't get me wrong, they are beautiful and elegant and such.... just never really "turned me on". Can I say that? Do you all know what I mean? I just happen to love and thrive on bright colors - and on the black background, this is just perfect! You never would have acheived the same results on a white background. After seeing your photos -who knows? I might now just be tempeted to make one myself. I have not tried the Masterpeice thread yet, but it sure does look pretty nice and shiney on your quilt! Will have to get a bit and give it a whirl......I do have a question though.... I am guessing that you marked this out on your background before you loaded it on your machine. What did you use for this?? on such a dark fabric.... and did it all come off allright?? Looks like it, looks just great! I have to look at those photos again...... WOW!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judi 9 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Oh - one more question... Is that a metalic thread that you used for the outlines? o.k. one more question... What was your inspiration for this quilt? (had to look at it again today - so cool!!) Thanks for sharing your art with us - such great ideas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
