Whatever....it's supposed to be 50 again on Thursday. Here's hoping that tonight and tomorrow are winter's last hurrah!
On Saturday I took my second class in heirloom machine quilting...Sharon Schamber-style. It's an all-day class and it's amazing how little you actually get done even though you've been stitching for hours.
Those little grids that are filled in with circles are half inch squares.
On Sunday, rather than continue to work on Saturday's class project, I pulled out the project from last month (same type of class), and finished quilting it.
Technically, I guess what I've completed is a whole cloth quilt...granted, it's going to bind up 18" square...
There's a center medallion, which is a basket of flowers and I've divided what's left around the basket into 8 wedges, each with a different free-motion design. That wavy grid is my favorite of all the designs I did.
If you've got any 18" quilts you need quilted..I am your woman. And no, this does not mean I'm going to start making miniature quilts.
One more class--Dancing With Your Machine--and I'm done with the series. (and will need to have my eyes examined...note to self...add 2.5 'readers' to Costco shopping list this week....the 2.0's just don't cut it with the beige on beige stippling).
I am so envious of your class...love what you have learned and completed.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely. The quilt is well worth the time. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt is great. I missed out on the class because of my crazy vacation schedule.
ReplyDeleteOh and isn't it great that we only got 2 inches of snow? big ole false alarm
Very beautiful quilting. It sounds like a great class. Hopefully you're getting the last of old man winter's snows. There's a rumor of snow accumulation (up to 6" in the hills over 500 ft) here too (actually is snowing now but not sticking - still too warm for allot of white stuff) if we get the artic blast forcasted. As long as the powerstays on I'm OK with it.
ReplyDeleteYou got the gun?? I'll buy the bullets!! I am over the snow!! Getting 6-12" inches today here in New Hampshire!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is looking fabulous!!
