I was just wondering if there were any quilters out there. I do lots of different stitching but quilting is by far my favorite.
I'd love to see your projects and share mine.
So if you're a quilter have a seat and visit a spell!

I went to quilt class last Wed...4 hours..
I felt so clumsy that the hardest part was measuring and cutting.
I did finish 15 blocks and had several more cut and halfway sewn. A new measure and cutting technique I hadn't seen...so that was good.
Teacher says it is a beginners quilt but the first one I did wasn't.
I paid $20 for the 4 hours but I think it's worth it.
I'll take some pics when I can...it is pinks!

Autumn,
I think the same green or the other neutral color on the swags would be good for the joining of them..that way the main design pops first.

Thanks! I really need to decide on the pieces for joining the swags- it's just a small circle or diamond to applique over the spot where the swags meet but it will make a huge difference in the overall look.
Do I go with a muted color or one that POPS!!! Decisions decissions!!!
I'm leaning toward another red print- but I dont want it to scream christmas.
Any ideas out there?
Blessings,
Autumn

Autumn,
How fun to see your topic again.
The applique is awesome. I think two years
is a record completion considering all the interruptions
you have had. Can't wait to see it quilted. Quilts
are always so inspiring to me.

Autumn, it took me a while to find the picture of your quilt, i do remember seeing it minus borders a long time ago. It is absolutely gorgeous! Good job, I am very impressed. I love the border, it is just sweet as all get out.

Autumn, that is truly a work of art.
I have a question that may have already been answered. How do you mark your quilts? Do you use a stencil and if so where do you get them? |

Posted - May 01 2009 : 05:52:34 AM
We use all of the ones Ive made!! My kids(adults) wear them out!!!
Thats ok with me- it means they are enjoying the gift!!!
There are very few that are not used- matter of fact, I cant think of any that are stored-except a few inherited that are more fragile.
Blessings,
Autumn

I like this topic too! I just started a new quilting class...I still feel like a beginner even though I've made a couple quilts thru these classes already. One was 450 two inch squares... yikes!
There is still plenty to learn! I know that a nice homemade quilt can be priceless and I like using mine even till it wears out. They just feel homey and loving, don't ya think? There is a spiritual power to something made by the hands of a loving woman.

Hey Monica!! Thanks so much.
I think I am done with applique for a bit.
This has zillions of little details that I think may may the quilt less durable.
We'll see, I suppose!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey girls!!
It's been a while since this topic has been active so I thought this was the perfect time to resurrect it!!!
I FINALLY after nearly 2 years of interruptions- have the wedding quilt for my daughter ready to put on the quilting frame!!!!
I have a few small pieces to applique on the top, that had to wait until the entire top was put together to finish!!!
What do ya think???
Blessings,

i started out slow, but with encouragement from several on here, it has been fun and not so difficult to do more ornate things. The pumpkin block is really simple, you should try it, if not for the swap, then for yourself, you will laugh at how simple it is.

Hi Rebekah,
Thanks for letting me know...I'm so sorry for her loss. I know she's really going to need to recharge once she gets home. You have a good day now and I'll be visiting the blogs.

hi stephanie! Mom will be out for a few days due to a death in the family. Her aunt passed away this morning so she will be traveling out of state and probably wont be back till saturday or sunday. I think she barely had time to take a breath after all the wedding stuff, then this happened. Anyway, just wanted to let you know she may be out for a few days. Be sure and send her some love via her blog : ) Thanks farmgirls!
