Renae Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Marie that quilt is simply beautiful. You did a wonderful job of quilting.....your McT is awesome and using the Rays....wow! I sure wish my little pebbles looked that good...... Mines look like I have been drinking.......:D Did you have a pattern for this or was it something you just did freehand? or stencil? or draw it first? Boy, was that clear as mud?????:D Anyway.......this quilt is a RIBBON WINNER for sure. Thanks for posting and keep posting.........I love it!!!

meg_marsh Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It is just beautiful. I love wholecloth quilts though I have never done one myself - it is on my list when I am no longer a newbie. Meg:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarieBrewer Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Renae, the bird is from my Grandfather's journal/penmenship book printed in 1897. I just had the copy place blow it up. I ordered the rays with the bird in mind so it is an expensive wall hanging. There were 5 entries in this catagory at the quilt show and I didn't get any of the ribbons. You should have seen the 1st & 2nd place. They were awsome!! The 2nd place was done on IQ but color enhanced by painting and glued on sparkles. Thanks for pumping me up!!

quiltmonkey Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Beautiful dove and I like how you did the feathers = they look like olive branches! Marie, you need to enter this in more shows so it can be appreciated by more admirers and... maybe...just maybe a ribbon could dangle from it some day? You won't know if you don't try. Regardless, it's gorgeous. Be super proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I agree with everyone else... it is just beautiful. Are the twisted (or is it drunken?) feathers your idea, or a pattern? I love it , all of it.. RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I watched some King Arthur movie today while watching Haylee...there was this great medailion think hanging in the room where the Knights of the Round Table met, like a huge banner....I want it....and the only way to get it is to make it....and the only thing I need is more fabric, these rays and arcs....and the talent of Karen McTavish Wow, I don't have any of that stuff...maybe I should just stick to watching movies:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore1223 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Maybe a stupid question (I know....there are no stupid questions) Can't you do rays and maybe arks with the CL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Coleen, You can do circles with the CL, but I think 11.5" - 12" is as big as it goes. With these rays, and I may be wrong, and someone will most definently correct me...you can go big, something like 79" with the large Ray, and 35" with the small one. With the Rays, you would lay your quilt top out on a large surface that you can stick a pin in, and draft out your circle and maybe your arcs (I don't know, I left the class before it went that far....Renae was talking numbers). With the CL you just plop it down on the table and stitch. Just not nearly the size of the Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanicePearce Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I bought the DVD that Rennae Haddadin put out and was so awe inspired. Now I know that I must order the arcs and drawing tool. Gotta try this out for myself...and hope to be as pleased as you must be!! Jan:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
