I'm finally back to working on customer quilts. This one I just finished for Jan from my guild, she wanted it done in time to enter in our guild quilt show at the end of June. Her workmanship on this is amazing - she hand pieced it for accuracy and it sure is accurate! She wanted lots of quilting and feathers.
I intensified the color in these images to make the details sharper.
The color really looks more like this.
I bought this pattern years ago, it is Vintage Moments by Marsha McCloskey.
I did not make it to MQS after all, I will have to wait until next year when it is in Wichita. I sent three quilts, all customer quilts since I haven't had time to do my own. They came home ribbon-less which makes me feel bad for my friends that let me enter their quilts! I figure every quilt show is a crap shoot - it depends so much on what other quilts are entered, who the judges are and what they had for breakfast!
Stunning your are one amazing quilter!!
ReplyDeleteSo true, your comments about the show. I heard from many, many people that the level of competition was decidedly higher. IMHO...there really ought to be the Masters category to keep people that will help to level the playing field somewhat. Seriously (w/o naming names) the top winner is not in the league of many others. Your quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeletelove your quilting on this - just gorgeous!
ReplyDeletelove the quilting...you did a fabulous job...this quilt is outstanding
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. It thrills me to read that your friend hand pieced it. What a treasure for her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely blog.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment on my blog - I just started looking at your photos - your work, your customers' work, photos from shows - so much to see, so much to admire - count me as a new subscriber!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful quilting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. DId you get from a book or individual pattern? I must make this.
ReplyDeleteIt's not my quilt, I quilted it for a customer. I believe it is a pattern.
DeleteA quilt show is the same as an art show in that the judges merely express their personal feelings(judgement) . It is not cut and dried like a chess competition, rather it is opinions of supposedly, experts in the field, nothing more, nothing less. I like the reference to what the judges might have had for breakfast! It also could be whether the judges woke up on the wrong side of the bed!
