It has taken me awhile, but finally finished hand quilting my version of Cherie's Stark Raven Mad, from her book Under the Stars.
It didn't help that I had to hand quilt thru several layers of wool in some places with crochet cotton. I used the baptist fan stencil for the quilting design, now to sew the binding.
Here's Cherie's version in case you have never seen it. Great book, great patterns and quilts.
Oh I do LOVE this, Nancy, AND the baskets in the previous post. I have a serious love affair with your projects. :) I'm with Sue---what book is this from?
ReplyDeleteI really love your version, you picked out the perfect fabrics and wools for it.

Love the changes you made to it. I also like my birds to be going all the same direction and not upside down. Beautiful work....
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunner, I love the colours you've used. Sore fingers from quilting usually respond well to chocolate.... eaten liberally of course!!
Hugs, Angela.x
I am trying to remember if I still have some of that border fabric that you used for the quilt. Good finish. I made one or two quilts out of Cherie's book. A good book to have in a prim library.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt.. wish I could see the quilting. I just finished hand quilting one also and it is my thumbs for some silly reason that hurt me..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Nancy. It is so You!!!! Wish it was mine.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Love your fabric choices - that border fabric is wonderful - I've used it on a few projects. I just love your quilts on the line.
ReplyDeleteThe name alone is brilliant! You've done a beautiful job. As always. Hand quilting can be a beast. I love it though. I find I like doing things the hard way....... (shakes her head and sighs..........)
