Quilting is my passion

[Daisy99]

Hi, I’m new here. I’ve had a needle of one kind or another in my hand for as long as I can remember. I used to sew my own clothes and started quilting about 30 years ago and it’s taken over my life and condo! This is my latest.

How long did it take you to make?

Thank you. From cutting to piecing to quilting to binding, I don’t know for sure, less than 24 hours all together. 3D and optical quilts are a lot of fun. It’s all about shading in the fabric. The sewing is just straight lines.

only a master of her trade would call something as good as that ''easy'''

This is actually easy. Just straight line sewing, no y seams! It’s all about the different shades of fabric. The pattern is Passages from The Guilty Quilter.

Your work is absolutely stunning. .
My sewing machines are my best friends……have quilted for many years, but, not in recent years.
Please keep sharing…..look forward to your posts.

Daisy, do you do your own top quilting with a long arm, or on your sewing machine?

 

[jujube]

Wowsa! That's a work of art!

My great-grandmothet and grandmother used to do quilting (I have some from both of them), but theirs were more utilitarian.

Outside of a couple of babies' "picture quilts", I've never followed in their footsteps (or would that be "fingersteps"?)

You're an artist.

I used to hand quilt but bought a long arm 11 years ago as a retirement gift to myself. I could never do that free motion that people do with sewing machine. What do you do?
