Her lovely
quilt won a 3rd place ribbon
At the
Fulton County Fair in beautiful Ohio!
And! Her
Christmas quilt won a 2nd place ribbon
(As you may
recall, I quilted these lovelies with Sir Owen the Innova.)
Yay! And Hurray!!!
For the Queenie Mother!!!
Pssst… Not
only did she win these ribbons but she also won ribbons for all of her
embroidery and ceramic submissions too!!
Queenie’s hoping
some snaps from the fair will be coming soon. *hint-hint*
Next up on
Sir Owen is Queenie Mother’s exotic rainbow quilt...
A quilt the
Queenie Mother designed around a lovely charm pack of batik fabrics.
A charm pack
is a collection of 5 ½” squares of fabric, usually from the same fabric line. I’m filling each square with a kind of leaf meets a halved papaya motif.
Each charm
square is surrounded with sashing of lavender foiled with gold,
Which Queenie
is filling with an interlocking square motif I’ve dubbed “keys”.
I’m using
Aurifil cotton thread throughout with gold on the top and brown on the bottom
The backing
fabric is a lovely teal batik with brown pottery images… yummy!
The quilt is
framed with a pink and...
A purple
boarder that I’ve quilted with undulating strings of sumptuous feathers.
A delicious
feast for the eyes our Queenie Mother's exotic rainbow quilt shall be!
Queenie’s in
the home stretch so more snaps to come upon completion.
Until next
time.
Have a great day!

Congratulations...to you both!!!!! Such beautiful quilting on the rainbow quilt! Of course, the feathers are beautiful!!
Congratulations and what a Feast for the Eyes and Senses these Beautiful Creations are! I didn't realize Quilting required so much Math until one of the Church Sewing Groups tried to teach me... WOW, my mind almost blew up! *LOL* Think I shall just stick with my Bohemian Bags that take no thought process or Math and leave the Quilting to the Experts like you who Create such visual wonders with this Art Form! Thanks for stopping by with such profound and sincere Words... I Feel better today after my Emotions subsided. Just worried that if the G-Daughter has a malignant tumor, they will have fiddle-farted around too long... or that she might not get the Surgery at all to have it removed if we cannot get whatever paperwork done in time to Appease the System?!?
