Garden Quilts

November 7, 2013

Brown Eyed Susan Quilt

Good Morning, Quilters and Welcome to The Inbox Jaunt!  We had a record day yesterday-with more than 150 new followers joining us here and on Facebook.  Thank you to Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville and Aurifil Threads for the link-love!  We are thrilled to have you join us!

It has been a wild week around here… I know I have left many of your questions unanswered, but I promise I will answer them in the next few days.  Also, I will have to postpone Open Line Friday’s discussion of Needle Selection.

Instead, I have a story to share…with some interesting images to illustrate my passion for quilting!

See you tomorrow,

Lori

    ….I’m not surprised at the numbers….I found you quite by accident and have had a ball reading older posts and cannot wait to try ALL the fmq designs you have so graciously shared. My psychic abilities aren’t even needed to predict you’ll have a very large following before year’s end…..a well-deserved following!

      Thanks, Sharon. I had fun creating it. I started with a color scheme and a bag of scraps and gave myself a short time limit. It was a great way to work spontaneously and try new techniques. I use this technique to challenge myself every once in a while, and some pieces are more successful than others.

      Thank you! I stitched in in an improv way–no pattern and rather quickly. It was inspired by the purples and oranges in my garden.

    I, too, think this quilt is fantastic. I love the colors and the graceful look of the flower.
    Congrats on the new followers! I have enjoyed my visits here, and I know others will feel the same.

    I found your Blog accidentally one day…i cannot remember what led me to it but I bookmarked it and I keep coming back to see what fabulous thing you are doing next. Thank you. This Art Quilt is so pretty. I love how you seem to take a simple idea and then build layer after layer making more and more interesting….and then the freemotion quilting is honestly the “icing on the cake”. I am wondering what size this Quilt is?
    PS, i hope your injured finger is better soon. Seeing that xray was enough to raise my safety awareness a few notches.

      Teresa, So very glad you found us! Please spread the word to all your quilty friends! The Flower quilt was a rather spontaneously stitched project. I didn’t use a pattern or a sketch, I just started sewing the background together and then I cut out the petals for the flower and arranged them several different ways. Once I had an arrangement I liked, I stitched the flower onto the background. I have made several small quilts in this way–and not all of them have been as successful. The quilt is about 20 by 28 inches??

      Got my stitches out today and I am on “the mend”–so to speak!

      Let me know whenever you have questions…
