Tutti Fruiti, oh Rudy
A whop bop-a-lu a shop bam boo!
Sometimes, a quilter receives a quilt that is special...this was one of them. The top was appliqued and pieced a few years ago as a sample in a class taught by pattern designer duo Mother and Daughter, Mary and Karen Milne of Patchwork Creations in Aberdeen. It's a stunning pattern and top, Karen made a wonderful job of the machine applique. The batik fabrics and colour choices add a sophisticated elegance to this modern design.
Karen gave me permission to quilt it as I thought fit, there was lots and lots of open space for quilting.
White Glide thread on top and white Bottomline in the bobbin, the only place that I used coloured threads was in the flying geese......batting was my customers's own, measures 84x84....
I would class this as Full Custom or even Heirloom Quilting.
I think the photos speak for themselves......I wanted this quilt to shout out 'look at me!'
I didn't want to give this one back but I can hear it shouting 'look at me' all the way from Aberdeen.....Can You?
OH. My. Goodness!!! Kay, you outdid yourself on this one. It is absolutely, amazingly beautiful. Definitely heirloom quilting. I really love the motifs you used. Neat how the lines in the quilted "sashes" radiate in the corners. Love the quilted flower between the pairs in the inside border. You achieved a perfect balance of linear and organic themes. This is just spectacular. Your customers must be bowled over by your work. :D
