quiltaholi_518 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Oh, Claudia, You MUST enter that in MQS or same other forum. It's very innovative. Was the silk challenging? What size needle did you use??? So many questions, so little time........ Caron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaSusieQuilts Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 What subject do I look under for the silk quilt. what color is it? Helppppppppppppp Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Claudia, WOW ~ I love ~ LOVE ~ love it. This is my kind of quilting!! I really want to touch it. The texture looks fantastic. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andriko Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Claudia, this is thrilling. I took very close looks on each picture with a lot of oohs and aaahs after I realized what I saw in detail. That makes me to want my machine NOW! To have started yesterday and having a lot of PPP. Your labour gives my ideas some more wings. Perhaps I can make it to France too. But the chance is very small. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calla Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Your quilt is just stunning! What great work you do. I hope we can see it in this country sometime. Barbara In Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I can?t believe what I?m reading! So many and nice compliments! Thaaaaaaaaank you all! Ok, I?ll try to answer all the questions:cool: Andrea: I want to see you in France*lol* you have to manage it;) Should I ask in Carroll, wether your machine is ready earlier?:cool: Barbara: Maybe you will see the quilt next year in the states...or: come to Germany:-) Myrna: Yeeeeeahhhh! You may touch it!*lol* I believe this year in Heidelberg! Linda: What does it mean: subject under the quilt? Sorry for my bad english! I would like to help you! If it means, fabric on the backside: it?s silk as well! Caron: No, the silk wasn?t really challenging while quilting, sewing is worse! I took a 4,0 needle, after trying a 3,5 needle, but the Rainbow thread was breaking every inch:-( so I decided to take a bigger needle - and there are no problems with the silk! Sue:-) Counting the days as well! Is it sure with France? Hope yes! Did I forget anyone?s question???? You made me happy:D Do you know the feeling and the wish to make a "perfect" quilt? I always find soooo many "mistakes" in my quilts and I feel ashamed and angry(about myself) about it! Even in this one! But I don?t tell you where*lol*:cool: Have a great day....

chickenscratch Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Claudia, This is so beautiful. I look forward to the day when I will be able to do such nice work. Is the thread painting terribly hard? Would you be willing to come to the U.S. and teach me? LOL I didn't realize you lived in Germany. We lived there for two and a half years while my husband was in the Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 ....chickenscratch.....it?s soooo easy: take a fancy thread. like wool with different colours and effects . Make a quilting-design with a kind of contour and lead the thread round this contour. You should be careful with your fingers and works slowly! With a little zigzag stitch you can fix the thread on place! I hope you understand my explanations - to show is much easier:cool: Otherwise I will come to the states and educate you*lol Have a great day.... Claudia from Germany... P.S. Where did you live in Germany, chrickenscratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Claudia, My husband was stationed at Bindlach. We lived in Bayreuth, spent alot of time in Graf. My middle son, who is now 20, was born in Neurenburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryLou5740 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Wwell, that is absolutely something to look at, let me tell you...how proud you must be, Claudia, of your talents that God gave you...that right there is the key to mistakes....I always tell people I had to make a mistake on my quilts so God wouldn't be offended. I don't want HIM thinking I'm trying to be perfect like HE is....one thing about it..this is truly a 'heaven-ly quilt'. I know I'll never put out anything like this, but I can sure enjoy someone else's.....how long did it take you to build this quilt from start to finish? Is it all original ideas? and pattern?

ClaudiaPfeil Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi Mary Lou! I don?t really know, wether someone is doing nearly the same in the states: I?m not a real surfer in the WWW so I can?t compare it to that what we in europe are doing/quilting ! In europe the longarm- quilting is really at the beginning(but increasing quickly:-) ) so: we european longarmers are trying and practicing on our own! Like an island in a far distance:cool: We don?t have any (yet!) competitions and exhibitions for machine quilting - maybe it?s a question of time! My silk project took me more than 1oo hours - from the sewing till now, but I still have to fix the christall stones on it and the binding! Yes - it?s all my own ideas and designs. I don?t use patterns - my ideas coming out of my stomache:D Have a great weekend... Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
