My new quilt! I just finished quilting it yesterday and bound it this morning. This is one of several that I have finished and have been waiting for me to quilt whilst taking a break from quilting the quilts of my clients.
I have finished and bound my Gira Rosa quilt. It was designed by Michelle Marvig and published in Australian Patchwork and Quilting. I was lucky to grab a kit from Michelle so a)I didn’t have to think too hard to match my fabrics and b) mine looked like hers - which I loved.
Anyhow, here are the pictures.
On the grass – this shows the whole quilt – it is 60×60 inches.
Gratuitous shot over the chook pen. Please understand this is MY quilt and I would NEVER do this with a client quilt.
Flung over the clothesline for a better detail shot.
More detail. My quilting is indeed freehanded. Those feathers come out of my head, through my hands guiding the quilting machine and on to the quilt.
I love my new quilt and as quick as the quilting seems to be, I started making this in, I think, 2009. Maybe even 2008.
Ooooooo, Yummy, Is this my birthday pressie? Shell? Michele!
Sorry Tonia, it is mine mine mine mine mine.
Boy, am I selfish or what???
PS, I don’t even know when your birthday is.
Very, very beautiful quilt. Great colors and nice pattern.
That’s so pretty. Well done!
That quilt is gorgeous! The quilting really sets it off.
Thanks for the tip on my quilting, I have decided to take your advice and match the top and bobbin threads for my quilting.
