I love how some of the quilting looks,
not happy with some of it.
A little hard to see the quilting from this angle.
Leaves in the corners.
Tree in the center.
I could not get a real good picture, Mr. Quilt holder upper was getting cold and when he gets cold his feet and legs really really hurt, so I didn't want him to stay out too long.
The tree really looks awesome. The tree and the leaves are the parts I really like.
I think it turned out good for my first time of more custom quilting.
The borders look really good too. (pictures are not so good)
What I wasn't pleased with is my loops and inner borders.
Borders too plain and loops, I don't know ...
a little off. Over all I love the way it turned out.
Here is something else I have been working on...
I found this in the bottom of a box of quilting notions.
I don't remember putting it there when we moved, and I don't know how it ended up
at the new house. I still have a lot of old quilting stuff in storage, mauve and country blue
calico,etc., you know what I'm talking about. But anyway, UFO found it's way to the new house.
I thought it would be good to finish it up, since I probably made it 7 or 8 years ago.
It would have looked really good in our log house in the country, not so good in our current house.
If my memory serves me right, I never quilted it because I never could decide
on a border. So I decided no border. It measures 62X62, perfect size for the quilt ministry.
I need to sew on the binding and deliver to Sarah, http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com
So Sarah this UFO is coming your way.
I hope there is someone on your list that likes plaid.
I quilted in a large meandering with navy thread (looked better than any other color I had).
Very soft navy flannel for the back.
Even though this quilt was not on my UFO list I going to count it as one and
link up with Susan at http://blackberrycreek.typepad.com
That's it for me this week...what about you?
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteWow, that quilt you made for your boss is amazing! So beautiful!

ReplyDeleteOooh, Diane, that's a beautiful quilt! And we've had lots of requests for quilts for men lately, so this is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your boss's quilt - the quilting is amazing! You are always welcome to come over and use my clothesline to take your pictures - you can rotate it to get the best sun exposure, and it never gets cold!! There's always clothespins on it, too, so you don't need to bring your own or find a time when I'm home....
Hey Diane, I completely forgot to send you my address like you asked. And I can't find your email address anywhere. If you will email me your address I will send you my snail mail address right away. Thanks so much. My email address is suscleve@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteDiane, gorgeous quilting! I also love the Dresden Plate quilt, and what you are doing to help cheer others up a bit. I am inspired, and hope to do more of that in the future.
