I have been busy quilting although I haven't posted for a while. Most recently I finished a black on black quilt which just about did me in. Much as I love the look of black backgrounds - they are so difficult to see the quilting on and are hard on my aging eyeballs. I couldn't get a decent picture of it.
Margret brought me two wall hangings to quilt - she had planned to quilt them with her sewing machine but never got around to it. I really like the look of the colored thread (Glide) on the feathered star quilt.
Margret is a very experienced piecer so her quilts were precisely made and a pleasure to quilt.
This quilt had lots of blank space for me to play in and I did get a little carried away. On this quilt I used So Fine so I could do a lot of quilting and have a better chance of hiding any backtracking.
My next quilt is a whopper and should take me through Thanksgiving to complete.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Your quilting is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat Feathered Star is especially beautiful! Hope Margret's piecing hasn't spoiled you because Phebe ... well, she has a mind of her own regarding precision piecing, lol. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilting--I'm rather in awe! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally a fan of the colored thread, but your use of it on the feathered star is stunning. It is a great accent without taking the focus away from the rest of the quilt. Oh, I would love your beautiful craftsmanship on some of my quilts. I love peeking at your blog every once in a while! Beautiful!
