I loved putting together this quilt although all of the frustration with my machine while quilting it was not so enjoyable. Yesterday after more cursing and re-threading my machine finally allowed me to finish stipple quilting.
I have always loved quilting my own quilts, but sadly there are so many people out there who won't even attempt it. I have students who are beginners and have just completed their first quilt top and don't even want to try and quilt, this is very common and "each to their own" I guess, they would rather send it off to be professionally quilted. I get a lot of pleasure in completing the whole process not just part of it. As a teacher I encourage the quilting, but there is only so much you can do.
That's my whinge for today, what are your thoughts on this quilt? I would love to know.
Well I think this quilt is fantastic Sue. Soooo much work in it. You seem to make them so quick. Are you keeping this one for yourself??
ReplyDeleteI too think that it's VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what kind of student I would be.... would I finish the quilt? If you were my teacher I would for sure. Don't your students know you other side? I like to finish things that i start, and then just never do it again...... lol
Are you keeping it, as Wendy asked, or is it for sale??
hmmm?
Hope you have a good Friday, Sue.
WOW! Is that the back with the red? It's AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I.ve come over to have a peek at your site from the lovely comment you left on mine. I totally agree with you about being able to say you completed the whole quilt yourself. It is sad that people won't even attempt to quilt themselves. I am a hand quilter mostly as you would've seen on my blog and I think it is also said that this too seems to be dying art. Yes each to their own I guess.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt and the white sashing makes it looks so fresh
ReplyDeleteI have about eight tops waiting for me to quilt as i do like to finish them myself!
