Happy Monday, Everyone! I completed an Americana county quilt yesterday for a special publication project – to be revealed next year.
Quilting is a lot like cooking in that there are always new things to try. This time, I tried a different quilting motif to see if it would be something I would add to my repertoire… here, you see the pen and paper version:
Here, you see the actual stitching on the quilt:
Verdict: Need a bit more work in developing into something I would use, but definitely worth exploring!
Have a great week ahead!!
Congrats on finishing it Wendy – that had to feel good – love the new quilting design!
it is very pretty! I’d keep it!
Love that quilting motif…very nice. :0)
Wow. That’s just gorgeous. I’d love to know at least which magazine so I can subscribe ahead of time but, I suppose you can’t even give that away either. I just subscribed to my first quilting magazine last week as I’m very new to quilting. I’ve been interested in a long while and have been reading about it for the past year as much as I could find to help me learn. Now I need to get my machine going and try some of this stuff I’ve read. Plus after that amt. of time and calling multiple stores in my area I finally just found one that I can actually take lessons from so I’m super excited about that.
Thanks for showing us the secret project you’ve been working on. It really is gorgeous.
That is so INTERESTING! I couldn’t even draw that with a pencil and paper. Maybe I need to practice doodling first, THEN quilting!
Beautiful quilt and gorgeous color. I love the quilting lines too. I have a small quilt I might try it! Wish me luck – Hugs Natima
Very nice! Love your innovations.
Love that quilting motif…very nice.
I really need to have a go at that, and get out of my basic stppling mode..
lovely! great colors and that quilting design is very nice. intriqued to see the whole thing
I love the apple and the colours make it very spring like. The quilting is fabulous for it and really brings your quilt to life. I appreciate the drawing of your patterns so that we can see how it relates to the real thing.
This is so very pretty!
