Sometimes time just gets away from me. Part 2

Now for Part 2 (scroll down to read part 1)

Peacocks, I sure do love that peacock fabric! So does my friend Terra! She made a lovely peacock quilt and after seeing mine ask if I would quilt hers!

 Busy at work! Did I ever mention that I love my Crown Jewel! If not, I just thought I would say, I LOVE my Crown Jewel!

 We decided that tone on tone was best for this quilt, so it is actually really hard to see the actual quilting. In this case it was the perfect choice. The fabric is so beautiful that I hate to distract from it.
I quilted the back ground in a simple curling echo fill, and the tail feathers are outlined in gold metallic.

These long strips were done stitch in the ditch on the squares and then I did a petal pattern that mirrors the border design on the setting triangles. Really very simple quilting, not over the top. Like I said I wanted to keep the quilting understated.

 

 And the finished quilt, Terra does beautiful work!

My other project I have been working on is actually one of my own. In June when I move my business over to the shop I want to have a sign to hang above my longarm. So I made a HUGE version of my logo in fabric, then used it as a quilting sampler.

 This is the finished sign. I am so happy with how it turned out. Keep looking down to see the details of the quilting.

 This one shows Echo Puzzle Fill. I love this as a back ground filler, so much more fun than a basic meander/stipple. Plus it can be sized up or down!

 This one is called Ribbon Candy. It makes the best sashing/border design.

 Pebbles and Ripples.

 OK, so I loved the feather with the glitter thread, then I washed the quilt and got this lovely wrinkle right in the middle. I think it is due to the applique glue I had to use, it was suppose to wash out and didn't. I don't think I will use that glue again.

 This is another fill design, called Bread Basket.

 Now for some feathering, this is just a simple hooked feather.

 a bit of McTavishing, this creates nice texture and give such a feeling of movement. You can see this again below in the black background of the quilt.

 Just a straight, formal feather. No frills on this one.

 Texture quilting. I tried to make this look like the hill (Candy Mountain) to the south of my house. Yup I nailed it!)

 Curls in the banner area, these mimic the curling design in the fabric.

 More McTavishing. This was done quite a bit larger than in the sun ray.

 A leafy feather. I wish it showed up a bit better. This is becoming one of my favorite feathers. Very Floral in feel.

And last but not least a curling feather! I like the fun looking aspect of this feather. I is pretty but does not take it's self to seriously!

Well if you managed to make it to the end, I thank you!
And you get a special treat for your efforts... My birthday in in two weeks. I will be announcing a birthday give away between now and then...

Happy Quilting,
Ginny
