I am at Quilt Retreat all week...
A few weeks ago I did some practice quilting
on this Damask napkin
in preparation for a wholecloth quilt
I am planning.
Today @ retreat I turned it into a pillow
16 x 16 inches
My practice sandwiches usually get thrown into
a pile or stuffed in the cupboard...
This was just too pretty to get tossed aside...
I am ready to move on and design
a wholecloth quilt.
I had some time in the afternoon to
play around with this vine design:
You can view my Wild Vine Tutorial HERE
The Wild Vine stitched out nicely
on this practice sandwich.
Ralph, The Quilting Kitty,
is having a great time @ Quilt Retreat
all this week!

LuAnn, Beautiful pillow!! Sounds like you are having fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your vine / feathers. Have you ever thought of having them digitized by one of the companies and then sell them to people like me who can't do free-motion but can make my Intelliquilter quilt most anything?? Please!
ReplyDeleteThat pillow is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think you said the pillow fabric was a napkin?? It just shines and has some texture on it...very stunning!!! Happy for the new twins!!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is amazing! And you do that quilting on a DSM??? I am in AWE!!! I can't quilt a straight line without issues on my DSM!!! Your Wild Vines look fabulous on fabric...you need to do something with your samples (like the pillow) because they are wonderful! Yay for the mom that loves both her babies!!! I hope she produces enough milk for both of them...or will they have to be up at the house barn so they can be monitored? Have a blast at retreat!
ReplyDeleteRalph likes yoyos. Pretty kittie. I really like the wild vine design, great flow and the detail is interesting. In the photos the pillow almost looks like velvet, it has a nice sheen. All I can think about is dyeing it :)
