Oh my gosh...is right. Lots-O-quilting going on here. The girls have been teasing me that I am like a vampire. I am always down in the studio. I never go out in the sunlight. And I stay up all night. They affectionately call me Edward (Twilight). LOL!! With all this quilting and such going on, it has left little time for piecing. I do really well for a while. Taking 10 minutes here and there to piece, but I have totally been slacking there. I need to get back to it because it is so therapeutic. I keep hoping to jump in on
Another Year of Schnibbles. Each month I pick out my charms or start one, but that is as far as I get.
I have little Schnibbles Work In Progress piles!! Looks like
Carrie Nelson is coming out with a bunch of new Schnibbles and full size quilt patterns. How exciting!! She gave a few peeks on her
blog. Actually, one of the quilts looks very
very familiar. :-)
Speaking of oh my gosh... Omigosh...
This is
JoAnne's gorgeous version!!! The pattern is
Omigosh by
Sue Garman. There is a whole LOT-O-PIECING in this quilt!!
JoAnne has a great blog,
The Patriotic Quilter, but for those of you not familiar, I'll give you a little background info. JoAnne and her husband live in Hawaii. Her husband is in the military. They will be moving back to the Continental US this year. I was discussing quilting options with Scott and telling him about JoAnne. He said, "maybe you could quilt a pineapple on the quilt some how." I loved the idea of making this an extra special "Hawaiian" quilt. A little homage to JoAnne's time in Hawaii. It was all Scott's genius idea.
Scott even made me a pineapple template!!
The curved ruler is a Fine Line Quilter's Ruler by
Accents in Designs. LOVE that ruler!!!
I love how it turned out!!! Feathers...pineapples...swirls...what's not to love?? :-)
JoAnne's piecing was even phenomenal on the backing!
She matched the print up perfectly!!
I think the backing has a very tropical Hawaiian theme too.
Specifics...I used Dream Wool batting. Threads were Isacord and Glide.
Here is a before pic from when I posted about meeting JoAnne in person
here.
Here you can see just how small the pieces are in this quilt...hence Omigosh!! That is a dime!!
Whew!! That is a lot of photos!! I had to make up for being a slacker blogger lately. :-) Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
It is a gorgeous quilt and you really worked your magic on it!!
ReplyDeleteOMG is right. That's a dime!!! Yikes! Love the pineapple in the corners.
ReplyDeleteWow, Linda! your quilting only enhances that beautiful and laborious piecing. I have the Omigosh pattern but have yet to dive in to that one. The pineapples are the perfect touch, love how you put them in the corners. Now, go out and get some sun!
ReplyDeleteOMG , that is amazing , such small pieces and your quilting is superb , love the pineapple , perfect addition!!
ReplyDeleteThe pineapple design is such a great personal touch and I'm bet you'll be using it again! Could be your new signature on some of the quilts you do and even hid it in some quilts.
ReplyDeleteSwirls and feathers look fabulous and I guess your glad she didn't ask for SID! :)
Love the pineapple design in the corners and the rest of the quilting is beautiful, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI remember falling in love with the Omigosh quilt pattern 7 years ago.
Wow that quilt is just fantastic, and the quilting is amazing! That pineapple is genius!
ReplyDeleteOMG is right! What a beautiful quilt and you just put the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteWow! I am familiar with Joann's blog but I did not see her working on this amazing quilt! amazingly small pieces... amazing colors... amazing piecing and on top of that your amazing quilting and a pineapple on top! Or is that a cherry on top... but I almost think that a pineapple should be worked in to all of your quilts/your personal ones... after all it's in your name.
ReplyDeleteThat is super fun that they are coming back to the main land!
I missed Carries post... gotta go look...
Ok I am back! That was a big treat... I don't think you mentioned that you had done some special quilting over there?!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt and yes, it sure looks like a lot of piecing. I see why it's called 'Ohmygosh'! I love the idea of the pineapple and it's such a nice touch in the corners. Really spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! What an awesome post about my quilt. I was going to email last night when I saw that you quilted for Carrie! That is OMG! I didn't know that your husband came up with the pineapple idea. I love it so much! Tell him "Mahalo Nui Loa" for me. (Thank you very much.) I wish everyone could see the quilting in person--it is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is really nice. I love the swirls, the feathers and that little tiny white border is too cute. Very awesome job. Those Pineapples in the corners are really neat. Absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous quilts and lots of piecing.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oh my gosh! ...is RIGHT! So many tiny pieces... wow!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your quilting is stunning... definitely adds to the quilt, rather than compete with it or take away from it. Congratulations!
Flipping heck, it's marvellous!!! Wow! I love the pattern, the piecing and your fabulous quilting!!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful....job well done girl!!
ReplyDeleteWowee! those are some little blocks but it sure did make a stunning quilt. great pineapple!
ReplyDeleteOh WoW. JoAnne's quilt is so beautiful. Her piecing is great. I love what you did with the quilting. Especially the pineapple. Just fabulous. Hope you get to work on your Schnibbles. Hugs,
