Weee! It was a challenge but so worth the effort. I was delighted to be able to use several of the new stitch motifs I learned at MQS. I did not think that I would be able to master them less than a month after my business trip. I consistently practiced making the feathers & before I knew it - I was stitching them on this quilt. As for the ribbon candy quilting...I had actually decided before MQS that I couldn't do it. I was happy to discover during a class at MQS that I was WRONG! Guess what my instructor Linda Taylor made me practice for 20 minutes straight? Yes...you got it...ribbon candy and more ribbon candy. Now I'm a ribbon candy pro.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was so excited to be able to use several of the new techniques and designs I learned at MQS. As you can see in the photos (and several more on the way) I used 4 different feathers to fill in borders, sashing, corners and the center diamonds - and TONS of ribbon candy quilting in the braid sections. I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and I learned a lot along the way. I surpassed many of my goals with this quilt and can't wait to feather the next one! <strong><em><span style="color: #660000;">*The part that surprised me the most when I took the quilt off the machine was that the back looked like a wholecloth design! I certainly didn't plan that!

It was an absolute BLAST getting to be a Teacher's Angel (teacher's aid) for Karen McTavish and Sue Patten. I also enjoyed all the classes I took with Myrna Ficken, Mary Nordeng, Sally Terry, Linda Taylor, Claudia Pfeil, and Gina Perkes! You ladies were fantastic! Ultimately I came away from MQS with several new long arm quilting patterns to offer my customers and my brain is still buzzing with new ideas everyday. Going to <a href="http://www.imqa.org/mqshome.htm"><strong><em>MQS</em></strong></a> was like diving into the deepest end of the pool...I am excited about challenging myself with a seemingly endless array of stitched designs. I am also thinking very strongly that I might try to design a show quilt next year...hmmm. This was probably one of the best business trips I have ever taken. I LOVED it and can't wait to go back next year. <strong><span style="color: #990000;">Be sure to check out each teacher's website - they are all linked to their names. </span><span style="color: black;">**See the two posts previous to this one for more information on Claudia Pfeil and Gina Perkes.</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She has such an outgoing, lively and sometimes crazy, personality. She's not afraid to say and do just about anything! It was a delight getting to know her. <strong><em><span style="color: purple;">Ornamental Pfeathers</span></em></strong>, the class/demo I took with her was nothing short of inspiring. Her creativity drives her to keep stitching at an intense pace. During the whole demo, she rarely stopped sewing. From one feather to the next, her creativity kept building. It was fascinating to see her in action. </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> She also made sure to have the essentials handy....she had CHOCOLATE. Not just any chocolate...yummy German chocolates. She passed around a basket of them halfway through class. The Giotto truffles were my favorite. Later in the week, she kindly gave me a whole package of them...so now she is my friend forever :-)</span> </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPReNU2lTFnYySJvwcJPG2y4m3h_krCNU4dA8vdXij7CGMWopKQiFzQjSCYkP23jE0xxIABJL38VbXQgxyTNt-UGPdLOGyfV82gznMVwJPDj8kbj9Hp1C6kmn8IbW7E1B1AY2KZ8ZC0Q4/s1600/IMG_2431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPReNU2lTFnYySJvwcJPG2y4m3h_krCNU4dA8vdXij7CGMWopKQiFzQjSCYkP23jE0xxIABJL38VbXQgxyTNt-UGPdLOGyfV82gznMVwJPDj8kbj9Hp1C6kmn8IbW7E1B1AY2KZ8ZC0Q4/s400/IMG_2431.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the photo above we are holding up a feather that I got to help design. After demonstrating several of her gorgeous feathers, like the one seen above, Claudia asked for 3 volunteers to design new, preferably challenging feathers for her. I raised my hand along with 2 other women. We didn't actually sew or draw the entire feather for her, just the spine - simple line drawings for her to follow with her machine. Mine, as you can see from the photo was quite curvy. When she started to stitch mine she asked: "Who's is the drunk one?" I guess you could say it looks that way. The funniest reaction we got from Claudia was when one of the other 2 volunteers handed in a feather design with a right angle in it. *It was certainly challenging! Claudia pretended to be flustered and jokingly glared at her students saying: "Alright WHO gave me this one?!" The student gingerly raised her hand. Pointing her finger at her, Claudia said, "Well, I'm going to remember you!" The whole class laughed. Claudia stitched all 3 of our feather designs beautfully. Then I asked her if we could "pretty please" have them since we designed them...she said yes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0xBG3CsOn8_ZF-Goz_bqtJQd9nuvTevJvvEXvTLks1EptzPY0EKfJ7nVcJ94EZD-4DKFf01Rugod2HG9UTrUfv1gaJjB3Iyox1zmQzPNc3cMtHk9TPBIjuPU6DMDZDpA9OJeQU-4raw/s1600/IMG_2432.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0xBG3CsOn8_ZF-Goz_bqtJQd9nuvTevJvvEXvTLks1EptzPY0EKfJ7nVcJ94EZD-4DKFf01Rugod2HG9UTrUfv1gaJjB3Iyox1zmQzPNc3cMtHk9TPBIjuPU6DMDZDpA9OJeQU-4raw/s320/IMG_2432.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: purple;"><em>A little bit about the Artist:</em></span> </strong>Claudia has won several major awards at both American and European Quilt shows.

I have been planning a trip to the Machine Quilter's Showcase for months now. I was so excited when the date for my departure FINALLY arrived. MQS, for those of you who don't know about it, is a fabulous way to spend the week taking classes from international, award winning quilt artists like Karen McTavish, Sue Patten, Claudia Pfeil, Linda Taylor...and the list goes on! There was also an extensive quilt show, vendor mall, and lots of fun evening activities including a banquet with guest speaker Kaye England - she was a hoot and a half! Long story short...I had a blast and did not want to go home. I do not have much time to blog right now and will be posting lots of photos soon! In the photo below my good friend and fellow longarmer Angela and I are our way to MQS. Stay tuned! More exciting stuff coming soon!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsuUQ2qv-jEQZMBR6t2OGIp3y6-v4A63obj8Gcswvh4ICGyXuIKrkxSw_3_LoBGLk3cgmRbIIfaknjH4dI9GZZahzg_F3Ev2ncUnwjnkDJvtZr1WdC6xrPDpwkdpXGrfJcFpTnxAIX27Y/s1600/IMG_2077.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473916924211785010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsuUQ2qv-jEQZMBR6t2OGIp3y6-v4A63obj8Gcswvh4ICGyXuIKrkxSw_3_LoBGLk3cgmRbIIfaknjH4dI9GZZahzg_F3Ev2ncUnwjnkDJvtZr1WdC6xrPDpwkdpXGrfJcFpTnxAIX27Y/s400/IMG_2077.JPG" /></a>Betharoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730468867410557912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026559834302375459.post-77408404381733097662010-04-30T17:28:00.000-07:002010-04-30T18:25:00.900-07:00It's Hanging at Wish Upon a Quilt!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDcKQ5BrOuUQVnE4HKrLK84J6zHTvJqfCv5Eo5_Fnrg_qDM3FYUblORUxKtpTK1xKwV-Enzp_XNskOfYRoHJ_su_rAbLXJhdcJJGLBCfV-ADEZb5GC1ON_JJslBpg_hIaKdAYc2N_u6g/s1600/IMG_1773.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466096582036686946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDcKQ5BrOuUQVnE4HKrLK84J6zHTvJqfCv5Eo5_Fnrg_qDM3FYUblORUxKtpTK1xKwV-Enzp_XNskOfYRoHJ_su_rAbLXJhdcJJGLBCfV-ADEZb5GC1ON_JJslBpg_hIaKdAYc2N_u6g/s400/IMG_1773.JPG" /></a> Yesterday I stopped by Wish Upon a Quilt. I enjoyed chatting with Cathy, owner of Wish *seen above.* She has a lovely store brimming with tempting goodies. Check out Wish's website <a href="http://www.wishuponaquilt.com/index.html">here</a>. Recently, I finished a shop quilt sample seen behind us. It has a very happy, lively feel to it...the fabric group Cathy used is appropriately named "Frolic." Sandy Gervais has once again created a mouth-watered collection. I considered a variety of different quilting patterns and decided that simple was best for this busy quilt. Whimsey with Swirls, daisies & leaves not only enhanced the whimsical feel of the quilt but matched several of the floral, vine and leaf motifs of the fabric. Next time you stop by Wish check out the Frolic quilt hanging in the classroom area. It turned out smashing! Thanks Cathy! It was great seeing you and your beautiful store!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieFSrfbJTI3vcBenbKCv_XRsvcRKf0b8XAhTBZkfUp3u_8NyoPnAGiJT8-VqdUqdAYU7FCfTQq9-_htJ42uOX9CYTgDyTy6ZPNt1Nj8Z2HnrLaK82FG-aJN-7wonLea_fyG2OcrrSkox0/s1600/IMG_1770.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The fabrics and pattern combine to make a quilt that has an elegant, springtime feel. The quilting had to reflect and compliment these same qualities. At first I suggested that straight feathers be sewn in the sashing, but Terry really wanted undulating feathers. I am so glad she chose them because they really make the quilt! The mermaid hair sewn right up against the star blocks, as I have said in many posts, gives them a 3D affect and puts them in motion. Terry really wanted "poofy" stars, so I did minimal quilting in them. And poofy they were! She was very pleased with the way her quilt turned out. I was excited to take on the challenge of doing the job. It's not everyday a longarmer gets to stitch undulating feathers in somewhat narrow sashing with lots of intersections where the feathers have to overlap and under lap each other. After this beauty was finished, I found that I had acquired several new skills.

I have so many blog entry's I can't wait to share with you all! I also have a ton of quilts to do! My customers are keeping me hopping! I LOVE my job.

My FIRST international quilt...yeehah! Kerri who lives in Switzerland did a marvelous job piecing her quilt top. The primary colors she picked really pop on their dark black background. Kerri knows Nicole who is the daughter of Sonja who works at the local <a href="http://www.berninaworldofsewing.com/">Bernina</a> store. Sonja has been a customer of mine for a while now. So long story short, the quilt went from Kerri, to Nicole, to Sonja & then me and back again! But what is ironically funny is that I cannot say I quilted a quilt for a Swiss woman because Kerri is from Australia! She signed her email to me: "Warmest Wishes, from Kerri, an Australian in Switzerland." Kerri, as you can see was very kind and took some lovely photos for me. She said she loved the quilting I did and uses the quilt as an accent piece on the end of her bed. Thank you Kerri! I look forward to the possiblity of quilting more quilts for you in the future! I hope you enjoy this post!

They also filled the blank white background background spaces, enhancing the elegant feel of Kris's quilt.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7U1FK82Etn_V7q8sRaQYfv813bfjD9P9n3PknY2kTAONW3jrgxNRnbDXK1M_BCcBkqG1RdrF6XsAkQD3_vhYP1G98sMIL4v_SRoOxQXhCNg-htPmifUvlGQgf4vvvldrLh8ldXcbnR_U/s1600/IMG_0026.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452769265990001858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7U1FK82Etn_V7q8sRaQYfv813bfjD9P9n3PknY2kTAONW3jrgxNRnbDXK1M_BCcBkqG1RdrF6XsAkQD3_vhYP1G98sMIL4v_SRoOxQXhCNg-htPmifUvlGQgf4vvvldrLh8ldXcbnR_U/s400/IMG_0026.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR23diuH1CzoHOjbqfUAJ2pikaIsLl-CWVO8r-7pTgX-ndtf8qqNLh6gXlsGVz-v4plzwrf13q4ZXILPevXxkSMOZpNj5qNGwoh-VFAJXJsVFntnbfjCqwNFMht8BYxBtZLcaVXI6f_NE/s1600/IMG_0018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452769254528023394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR23diuH1CzoHOjbqfUAJ2pikaIsLl-CWVO8r-7pTgX-ndtf8qqNLh6gXlsGVz-v4plzwrf13q4ZXILPevXxkSMOZpNj5qNGwoh-VFAJXJsVFntnbfjCqwNFMht8BYxBtZLcaVXI6f_NE/s400/IMG_0018.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiokp7qwCLYeTQVAoDbv0PdaeCSf8-GMw3fcu0NohnLAg0pI6yTxgTZl-e0nVcLrEJdz4Hs3I_tgTxlZbr5Vpyoru1wyrHIgY69sjvPD018O7JbCEMiSNm8ZN5aZD5MJzCAkJvZJJVQbUM/s1600/IMG_0015.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452769252120915490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiokp7qwCLYeTQVAoDbv0PdaeCSf8-GMw3fcu0NohnLAg0pI6yTxgTZl-e0nVcLrEJdz4Hs3I_tgTxlZbr5Vpyoru1wyrHIgY69sjvPD018O7JbCEMiSNm8ZN5aZD5MJzCAkJvZJJVQbUM/s400/IMG_0015.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ooD8OSijTmEG51tsXJZ_fE364xBh__7pRSFJz7vbgJw0oJLMm78gq_dPWOnGy68xtD382UJXTz-pupK9e7vr5fTVYvnxTkx0190hnZXlIOAKcHUKeAmPkmf5FwTgLEcCRY1pOi5TytY/s1600/IMG_0014.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452769247790170226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ooD8OSijTmEG51tsXJZ_fE364xBh__7pRSFJz7vbgJw0oJLMm78gq_dPWOnGy68xtD382UJXTz-pupK9e7vr5fTVYvnxTkx0190hnZXlIOAKcHUKeAmPkmf5FwTgLEcCRY1pOi5TytY/s400/IMG_0014.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div>Betharoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730468867410557912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026559834302375459.post-90382211389907750402010-03-23T16:32:00.000-07:002010-03-23T16:57:52.583-07:00Kris's Star...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtw3h36PRnANSnTnf5nK5BzkPyDVKJ7cPnyjrT3McQlbDqB8SRdu3KXEcGC-bFL32vOJbHWb4Iqyzv3NFnCYSD8Ng73_GlxXqA1LYYPEtWFUH9Hk-iBqTEEESrWxxKEL8ONWGRp5ftSL8/s1600-h/IMG_9933.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451978073905327746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtw3h36PRnANSnTnf5nK5BzkPyDVKJ7cPnyjrT3McQlbDqB8SRdu3KXEcGC-bFL32vOJbHWb4Iqyzv3NFnCYSD8Ng73_GlxXqA1LYYPEtWFUH9Hk-iBqTEEESrWxxKEL8ONWGRp5ftSL8/s400/IMG_9933.JPG" /></a> Friend and long time customer Kris, always does a great job in selecting colors and patterns. Her quilts always "sing"...they are cheery and beautiful. See the "Spooktacular" blog entry <a href="http://bethanyquilts.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-spooktacular-3.html">here</a> that I recently posted about her fabulous halloween quilt. This star quilt was done a while ago (like many other quilts waiting to be blogged about) *cough *cough...ahem...but anyways here it finally is! I was so tickled with how well the quilting turned out. These pictures only show part of the quilt...so you'll have to check back again soon for the rest! Wait until you see the feather design I stitched in the set-in corner squares...they turned out beyond awesome! Stay tuned!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHYjOsoMDtQbHoRQnWLgUqRBlfhtxg0CKTES2o413FjoPeSj1N937Pb03UvWXunlz1ncJcEGnikuEg2u0VXG-xRiF1OBGBEpt2mamwDgxW3DkKEiPcZKzPRlDVqxv08k47EFk-VTl3D8w/s1600-h/IMG_0021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451978069593687554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHYjOsoMDtQbHoRQnWLgUqRBlfhtxg0CKTES2o413FjoPeSj1N937Pb03UvWXunlz1ncJcEGnikuEg2u0VXG-xRiF1OBGBEpt2mamwDgxW3DkKEiPcZKzPRlDVqxv08k47EFk-VTl3D8w/s400/IMG_0021.JPG" /></a><br />The mermaid hair added a lot of texture and movement to the center...I went to town on this baby...<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp-dFowyIlSBFMB1Jya3SS-L8zpP4sPM61W5nVMT394b-XKOScx3Lz4IibTxoS0FQ5bCeQNFTdGIasITOEpN-xnLL_MeZsD7VAwYdUHduUofDUOyUmB9C2UY6dtn6s-XAIH78DOf0QXNs/s1600-h/IMG_0028.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451978061139719602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp-dFowyIlSBFMB1Jya3SS-L8zpP4sPM61W5nVMT394b-XKOScx3Lz4IibTxoS0FQ5bCeQNFTdGIasITOEpN-xnLL_MeZsD7VAwYdUHduUofDUOyUmB9C2UY6dtn6s-XAIH78DOf0QXNs/s400/IMG_0028.JPG" /></a></div></div>Betharoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730468867410557912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026559834302375459.post-23173448846761142052010-03-10T17:09:00.000-08:002010-03-10T17:51:24.314-08:00Hurry Up Spring!!!

I hope you enjoy them! I love adding the swirls to the whimsey. It is a more recent addition to my quilting repitoire. The swirls just bring so much more movement and liveliness. This quilting design with the playful daisies was a perfect fit for this quilt.<br /><br />By the way...Spring listened when I told it to hurry up. Just yesterday I saw a large patch of daffodils in full bloom. Later on in the afternoon, it was so warm outside that I just had to take my shoes off on the way home from my walk and go barefoot. Of course, being a North Carolina native, I know the real truth is that N.C. weather is just plain moody. Two weeks ago it was snowing, this week it's almost gotten hot. Next week brings who knows what! For now, I will keep watching all the lovely new blooms.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1WRL04OVvd7OlZ3V1FQxpPjr9M5g_4CdBdp5q2vlZsD9snb7glaRCxl_G58zaVxCRqpbxGYh_LDlaHLSjU5yrBRDxhywEho5IuUxJja-oRmPPBN9OEXt9wYShLVl7EHRpDfjTDAx2nA/s1600-h/IMG_0388.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447182775641204642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1WRL04OVvd7OlZ3V1FQxpPjr9M5g_4CdBdp5q2vlZsD9snb7glaRCxl_G58zaVxCRqpbxGYh_LDlaHLSjU5yrBRDxhywEho5IuUxJja-oRmPPBN9OEXt9wYShLVl7EHRpDfjTDAx2nA/s400/IMG_0388.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmmYuW2DH5jEvqA0-5okWyc_qFh45b0k0KLex2GInPVWT6DgLRQ8UJHN7J7MuB-_mUpTLizy_xKUWvGQ-gMRYHIiLbcwKs4pnngimxm2UHzye5cQCTLFvXQZm5syyY9vniLK-rXpA4XSg/s1600-h/IMG_0384.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447182770786625282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmmYuW2DH5jEvqA0-5okWyc_qFh45b0k0KLex2GInPVWT6DgLRQ8UJHN7J7MuB-_mUpTLizy_xKUWvGQ-gMRYHIiLbcwKs4pnngimxm2UHzye5cQCTLFvXQZm5syyY9vniLK-rXpA4XSg/s400/IMG_0384.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtA61IAoLZA8U9YLsV2KjQY6kwY56V6m7Bk9IRau4qoHYZHexK_KI4kW26QjPRInDT6wwLqEUViYoBMQDMdgliaI06n_mU-aGF5EgbL3kHcV63CjIMLbTXB7YHCoO2YZSk4uujkjHDyy8/s1600-h/IMG_0377.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447182756726033138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtA61IAoLZA8U9YLsV2KjQY6kwY56V6m7Bk9IRau4qoHYZHexK_KI4kW26QjPRInDT6wwLqEUViYoBMQDMdgliaI06n_mU-aGF5EgbL3kHcV63CjIMLbTXB7YHCoO2YZSk4uujkjHDyy8/s400/IMG_0377.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifE361FJE-ZvSmRx53HP_0w-awXQsd9vuxghXczZUepYKFYOHlMqZhgV_iNReb1WEC68t5NnO5wv8H4gRveSKTFezxwYWe9Wv297tc2HyVqEfcsNHfdytfw2d5AZ0zyPHjCg1T4aOB8LM/s1600-h/IMG_0373.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447182747915632018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifE361FJE-ZvSmRx53HP_0w-awXQsd9vuxghXczZUepYKFYOHlMqZhgV_iNReb1WEC68t5NnO5wv8H4gRveSKTFezxwYWe9Wv297tc2HyVqEfcsNHfdytfw2d5AZ0zyPHjCg1T4aOB8LM/s400/IMG_0373.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div>Betharoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730468867410557912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026559834302375459.post-40343832093295662442010-03-08T15:53:00.000-08:002010-03-08T16:13:26.530-08:00Hello Swanville, Minnesota!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcTIQYFl2WP0vqgY4nxj_lrx1bUwVX48SddUw3H35anmQkppuoQ6xc_DPBke7uqRtQB4p1darslbxRjxuTN9WrPyfC3HTNXQGXjzWoMlIDk21j18uE4Xf6AteexFsu9Y1ESdfWXokWx84/s1600-h/university-of-minnesota.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 210px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446415870228801170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcTIQYFl2WP0vqgY4nxj_lrx1bUwVX48SddUw3H35anmQkppuoQ6xc_DPBke7uqRtQB4p1darslbxRjxuTN9WrPyfC3HTNXQGXjzWoMlIDk21j18uE4Xf6AteexFsu9Y1ESdfWXokWx84/s400/university-of-minnesota.jpg" /></a> Dear visitor from Swanville, I have been curious to know who you are for a few months now. It's pretty cool to have somebody reading my blog all the way up in Minnesota. Last time I did a blog call it was to Sweden. After seeing my blog circulated through a Swedish Yahoo group, I had to know who in Sweden was following my blog! That's how I met my friend Gudrun. I would love to meet YOU!

Taking random pictures of whatever I want to is a great way for me to unwind. I find looking through a camara is almost like looking into another world. It's like I'm going exploring. As I was the only one at home, I did not have any "victums" I could ask to pose for me. I wanted to experiment with reflections...here are a couple of the bizillion pics I snapped. (The second one is my reflection in the birdbath in front of my house.)

I had never sewn butterflies before and knew that these had to be more elegant than whimsical. It would have been a different story if I was simply adding a few butterflies here and there to a basic whimsy (loops) motif. That was not the case as Ilene had requested freeform feather with butterflies. Several sketches later, I came up with a butterfly that could be sewn in one pass and that fit with the feel of my free form feather quilting design. I was excited to have been given this challenge. Now I have another spin on my free form feather design. One thing I have learned this past year as I have taken on various quilting challenges is that creativity and inspiration never run out. Every time I think I might have run out of ideas...a new one springs into my mind. I am constantly inspired by many different things and love my job!!!! Enjoy the butterflies!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkH9IDzkBahNwESb97wkea2FkDtMDH86F4eyjvmRCT3czeN93IoNI5-LilSXdvzYrN3GtWjDCaKSw2jQ3ehnxn-ZO4wh0p29bppjrRFb4QzI9vdl3Fpq2Evta34P9LYI7qG2OYaHYAo8/s1600-h/IMG_0528.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437908745581922210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkH9IDzkBahNwESb97wkea2FkDtMDH86F4eyjvmRCT3czeN93IoNI5-LilSXdvzYrN3GtWjDCaKSw2jQ3ehnxn-ZO4wh0p29bppjrRFb4QzI9vdl3Fpq2Evta34P9LYI7qG2OYaHYAo8/s400/IMG_0528.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFoOpfZ9K9hT2_hxOzrL8ZcEtY0aK9GCiFZUNcYrCj1fM0_92oUwWZwLYkcDsjH8Ds83yluNEp9GNmGCltyj39Ro1Mkhbgz6B89R7x0tRHYMdlxf1rCyFgNdkWGdLbPa5rPGODs7jlKQ/s1600-h/IMG_0527.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437908737808196658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFoOpfZ9K9hT2_hxOzrL8ZcEtY0aK9GCiFZUNcYrCj1fM0_92oUwWZwLYkcDsjH8Ds83yluNEp9GNmGCltyj39Ro1Mkhbgz6B89R7x0tRHYMdlxf1rCyFgNdkWGdLbPa5rPGODs7jlKQ/s400/IMG_0527.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSIl1C8nTnP6pvUNixq8p9zrJYrAIXb4Nr4ayc-CsbMN2Nv6Hrfj9wUw36e3IZ9Mn-vLVBwM8YYXBGLQ4A1FgNDOSz_XTQB3H56Qxz38ddbGWhdAhs8urBEwdHWXVLOEiPcQwSCjuaOKE/s1600-h/IMG_0280.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437907019068706770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSIl1C8nTnP6pvUNixq8p9zrJYrAIXb4Nr4ayc-CsbMN2Nv6Hrfj9wUw36e3IZ9Mn-vLVBwM8YYXBGLQ4A1FgNDOSz_XTQB3H56Qxz38ddbGWhdAhs8urBEwdHWXVLOEiPcQwSCjuaOKE/s400/IMG_0280.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTmde-IBD0fT_aYuWICL5Fe-Smo71qMfZfagPF51ekJXTtMT-exzsVkUr0d5OIAfu8BFo0VIuYU6Vdrd42S2OAt5jlI-mOMdz-pfo4IbEOQB3T0nh1XXJf4plW3-KZNkDV-OjtG_OEG8/s1600-h/IMG_0250.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437907014631044466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTmde-IBD0fT_aYuWICL5Fe-Smo71qMfZfagPF51ekJXTtMT-exzsVkUr0d5OIAfu8BFo0VIuYU6Vdrd42S2OAt5jlI-mOMdz-pfo4IbEOQB3T0nh1XXJf4plW3-KZNkDV-OjtG_OEG8/s400/IMG_0250.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojpiLt_AQ9nsyNIqb5uc1rOtVMAplMtDlcSAoVoy4ZinRasUXCXumKmZpZnsZxeXbI04HzkaEVfN5zEqnrW_X7xUKki42wX3uF-apE-d9vk01U_Nn6egLFYoqLexpxB-VAs1TIzLNVO8/s1600-h/IMG_0279.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437907007798223458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojpiLt_AQ9nsyNIqb5uc1rOtVMAplMtDlcSAoVoy4ZinRasUXCXumKmZpZnsZxeXbI04HzkaEVfN5zEqnrW_X7xUKki42wX3uF-apE-d9vk01U_Nn6egLFYoqLexpxB-VAs1TIzLNVO8/s400/IMG_0279.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div>Betharoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730468867410557912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026559834302375459.post-32217467668092376062010-02-06T18:46:00.000-08:002010-02-06T19:47:21.570-08:00More of the Glorious Butterfly Garden Quilt...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3jtE2D8Q2xzBbXkgLZ1BL1jy_e_B5ZyJBjvs28RNguVmBvb1RN6gGBShcJ5lzavSU5geK0eBqZsBeq3j40cj1Tdz_drRTaMGKXhz4hCZJ2ae24BWh2zb5NCIRfwhnYJfdJgzxbma8PYc/s1600-h/IMG_0284.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435338617533122706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3jtE2D8Q2xzBbXkgLZ1BL1jy_e_B5ZyJBjvs28RNguVmBvb1RN6gGBShcJ5lzavSU5geK0eBqZsBeq3j40cj1Tdz_drRTaMGKXhz4hCZJ2ae24BWh2zb5NCIRfwhnYJfdJgzxbma8PYc/s400/IMG_0284.JPG" /></a> Do you see the star spinning into orbit?<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSWEX_A50ejl1zOHq-uYJxYr8oVZcqKfepPtwHBB2IBRDbhAS8EW7xTOjUy11GMUSCXZid2k1wreL0V9h_NfNQ0wvoIV8-RqxmeYjs1-FwG1tmrfMM9K8x_950u7w9kaAdKHBPntbF3fY/s1600-h/IMG_0281.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435333944409859186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSWEX_A50ejl1zOHq-uYJxYr8oVZcqKfepPtwHBB2IBRDbhAS8EW7xTOjUy11GMUSCXZid2k1wreL0V9h_NfNQ0wvoIV8-RqxmeYjs1-FwG1tmrfMM9K8x_950u7w9kaAdKHBPntbF3fY/s400/IMG_0281.JPG" /></a> Quilting the radiating swirls from the middle of the star was well worth the effort. I knew that whatever design I ended up stitching on the star of this quilt had to be elegant and lively. In order to maintain the clean lines that the seams made, I stitched along each row of diamonds. After debating between doing swirls that stayed in the channels or randomly "climbed" all over the star, I decided channel quilting would best compliment the clean, modern, bold look of this quilt. This of course took A LOT of stopping and starting. Like....A WHOLE LOT. Halfway through I was tempted to think: "What on earth have I gotten myself into??!" Those thoughts were soon replaced by my growing excitement. The more channels I filled with swirls, the more the star began to come to life. I was motivated by the thought of how stunning the quilt was beginning to look. When the last swirl had been sewn it looked as though the star was spinning into orbit.<br /></div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8deBPpElN8CV5OBzQvxyPLREfcw4ipy_FHrVxVe4jviJNxJiIqpiRhiceqnSnsrWH02MGrVVils88qUXVvfJlMA4oOaVwo2DjT91ukhHETawQRSViOSbfjPREgiBEm46ZWTlTEk93DMs/s1600-h/IMG_0277.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435333938667173714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8deBPpElN8CV5OBzQvxyPLREfcw4ipy_FHrVxVe4jviJNxJiIqpiRhiceqnSnsrWH02MGrVVils88qUXVvfJlMA4oOaVwo2DjT91ukhHETawQRSViOSbfjPREgiBEm46ZWTlTEk93DMs/s400/IMG_0277.JPG" /></a><br />Ilene did a very nice piecing job on this quilt. Often it is difficult, as you quilters know, to keep ALL the diamonds flat and not stretched out of shape. Ilene's quilt was nice and smooth. I enjoyed working on it. One tip I realized (I'm sure some of you have already figured this out) is that batiks are a great option when making a quilt with lots of bias. Yes, batik or not, the fabric will always tend to be stretchy when cut on the bias, but because batik is stiff and more densely woven, it probably has less stretching potential. Ilene's quilt was all batiks; and as I said, behaved beautifully.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV0IgpfjvbS1cbxdjq8su9kFSUgkUnb3C0u_3R28jqF-eYl2e5pVAL0U-hx6jH9gnde-aLNEP4b4JRlezYNz-OCqiLr4kbXkWCyJXJrI10daKHTTHmm4DP4JjFpqu7IbyLdZcwvMUOPCQ/s1600-h/IMG_0268.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435333934640874338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV0IgpfjvbS1cbxdjq8su9kFSUgkUnb3C0u_3R28jqF-eYl2e5pVAL0U-hx6jH9gnde-aLNEP4b4JRlezYNz-OCqiLr4kbXkWCyJXJrI10daKHTTHmm4DP4JjFpqu7IbyLdZcwvMUOPCQ/s400/IMG_0268.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHzLim7tyh3Elt0shm12KoNbB80KeKE-TubWKI8HdGXAwOxrKHDxP0ZRMXBOdyP6TXslbss9Df7RvBna8UQqR3lUD_t9LC6qbTBtaCUvMqsJJJP8IErAqD5NRCt-3UHXLivGO7e-8ct4/s1600-h/IMG_0242.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435331933137003042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHzLim7tyh3Elt0shm12KoNbB80KeKE-TubWKI8HdGXAwOxrKHDxP0ZRMXBOdyP6TXslbss9Df7RvBna8UQqR3lUD_t9LC6qbTBtaCUvMqsJJJP8IErAqD5NRCt-3UHXLivGO7e-8ct4/s400/IMG_0242.JPG" /></a> I worked long and hard on sketching z butterfly.
