SherryRogers Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Here is a lovely queen size sampler quilt I just finished up yesterday. I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and Maderia Monolon invisible thread. The quilting designs were custom created to fit the space. The client and I were quite pleased with the end result.

Guest LA Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Beautiful as always Sherry! I love the fact that you always go "beyond the call" of duty & make personalized quilting designs for your clients. That\'s it, I am sending you that intense "Victory Star" Civil War quilt I have going on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 LOL!! The reason I laugh is that I did not write down the size in inches anywhere. I do know that the invoice shows it at 6,766 square inches....whatever that is! Originally posted by chickenscratch Very nice. How large is the quilt? It looks huge in the photo.

SherryRogers Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I are not afraid!!! You know I love traditional quilts and quilting and I love the civil war fabric line. I am piecing a Jo Morton quilt at the moment. The pattern is called Peppermint Twist and it is too lovely for words! Grim pinks and browns....I just LOVE it!!

SherryRogers Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thought some of you would be interested how I went about choosing the designs for this quilt. Those of you that have taken my classes know I work with a road map for quilting. I take a picture of the quilt and then place vellum over the top and draw out quilting scenarios. In this case I sent these road maps out to my client to see what appealed to her. S he liked everything but was drawn to one element so I chose that and completed it in what appealed to me! Hopes this sparks your creativity!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks for posting your process, Sherry. I am always intrigued by the genius and inspiration that comes before the end product... In other words: "How day do daat?" One of these days I am going to take a class from you! Thanks for sharing.

ffq-lar Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Sherry-- Thank you so much for sharing your design process. You are such a precise stitcher and talented designer of stitching patterns. Your customers are lucky to have you as their quilter. I am trying to make time to do some piecing and brought out "Blended Quilts" by Marsha McCloskey and Sharon Yenter to drool over and inspire me. And there you were! The tops you quilted for this book are scrumptious. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Beautiful as always, but I want to thank you for posting so many of your design ideas and sharing your tips and tricks on the list.

mxley Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Awesome Sherry! I wanna quilt like you when I grow up! I love the vellum idea for designing, and am definitely going to use that on my next quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nineva Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Shana, Dahling, you just HAVE to take one of Sherry\'s classes. I only got one day, but she promised to do some more classes this spring and I can guarantee, I will be signing up. Her roadmap process is so cool. She really opened up the right side of my brain, which is not very artistic oriented. I can even draw beautiful feathers. Now all I have to do is figure out how to quilt them. So, Shana, COME ON DOWN. You too wil do gooooooooood. So, Sherry, more classes now that you are moved, right? Nancy Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks for posting your road map Sherry - you are a constant encourager for us to push our creative genes to the front and center of our brains. Thank you. I also want to take a class from you one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned a quilt you are piecing w/ Grim Pinks and browns....I am collecting some Civil War repro fabrics - can you tell me if you have a good source for these...especially the grim pinks? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmquilt Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Sherry, As usual it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your process. I\'m going to wear out my mouse looking at the drawing and then back at the quilt to see which is what. Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonjaHammond Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Sherry: Just want to add my ooohs and awes for your beautiful quilt. Thanks for the roadmap information. I can see where this would really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Annette Jo Morton has a line of fabric with Andover fabrics. The book I am piecing from "Remembrances" states she is working on a grim pink and brown fabric line. I will post a picture of my Peppermint Twist later today to wet your appetite.

ramona-quilter Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Sherry, Oh, this is so beautiful. I love the samplers and the feathers but what really draws my eye are those diagonal racing stripes intersecting the blocks. It looks like 5 lines and the connecting layout is just so perfect. Wow. And thank you for stepping us thru the process. I had not heard of your use of vellum. What a great idea. Since I cannot get up close and personal with this quilt;), I will ask the question(s) that is burning in my head. Did you mount the quilt diagonally to get those diagonal lines done continuous or did you mount the quilt normally and have lots of stops and starts? And if you had stops/starts, did you clip or bury the tails? Or did your diagonal line make a u-turn at some convenient spot to continue in a new direction thus minimizing the stop/starts?
