Thank you for all the nice comments on my last post regarding Door County Cherry Baskets!!! I blushed every time I read them!! I tried to respond to all the comments, but there were several of you that were No-Reply commenters. Meaning I have no way to email you back. Some of you even asked questions that were no-repliers. If you did not hear from me, that is probably the reason...or I apologize if I may have missed you.
The girls are home from school today. My MIL came to our home of our annual tradition of making Pierogi! Yummy and messy, but they are done so we can enjoy them on Fridays!! Now I am off to take the girls to dance and to see the accountant. I wish I could just quilt and not deal with the business side of things...some day maybe. :-) BUT before I go, I have another wonderful quilt to share...
Pine Tree Ridge designed by Jan Patek. This GORGEOUS version is the BOM offered by
Primitive Gatherings here. Trust me the photos on PG website do not do this quilt justice. Photos never do, but when I first got the quilt, I didn't even realize it was the same quilt!! I am so tempted to sign up now while there is still spots open because I LOVE this quilt!! I am not a blue person, so that is really saying a lot! I had a lot of fun with the quilting. Again, I will let all the photos do the talking...
The quilt is wool applique on cotton.
Upside down. :-) I took photos of most of the blocks...I think, so I will just work by way down the quilt with the photos. I don't want to skimp on showing you all the quilting details. :-) Starting with the top corner...
Lots of fun feathers.
I LOVE the angel. I had to quilt her a pretty dress. :-)
I used the fabric as a guideline for the quilting.
Some of the blocks were big, making them really cool!!
This house block was a favorite. I quilted a clapboard roof and cobblestone chimney.
Lots of detail quilting.
Teeny, tiny feathers...love them. I put a pin on there, so you could have reference of their size.
Smoke coming out of the chimney.
I loved all the quilting on the back, but had a terrible time capturing it because the lighting was not ideal.
Specifics...Dream Blend batting. I don't believe I used any special rulers but my straight ruler. All the quilting is freehand. Thread...yikes...17 different threads!!1
I know...it is the detail demon in me coming out. :-)
I am going through my photos of DCCB, hopefully I can come up with a quilt process post. My photos are not very tutorial friendly after looking at them.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Oh my gosh! Linda, I've been seeing bits of this Instagram, but this is just amazing! Holy goodness! I love all the details in the quilting :) Happy days!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I don't think I have ever seen anything quilted so beautifully! It must be so difficult to send it back to its owner. Her piecing and applique are stunning as well. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely quilting. :) There are some tiny feathers and pebbles in there!
ReplyDeleteSweet quilt and all the more beautiful because of your quilting. I love the variety of your quiltwork in this. You put so much thought into your work.
ReplyDeleteIf someone comes knocking on your door at dinner time on Friday's it'll be me. I LOVE perogies but have never had handmade fresh ones. You can photograph your quilts upside down or right side up and they're gorgeous. I love how you let the fabric speak to you as well. I guess you're the quilt whisperer.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job quilting. For the average person who isn't sending their quilt out though, I feel this quilt has a ton of blank space that is in there to sell fabric. It certainly doesn't do anything to enhance the quilt. (unless you quilt it!)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I passed on this one and now I am so sorry I did! You are right.... the online pic did nothing for this quilt but your quilting is totally amazing!
ReplyDeleteI just said - WOW! The quilting is soooo beuatiful!h
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Amazing! Some day I really do hope to be as good.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun quilt and your quilting is so amazing. I always get stuck on design ideas for block quilts with applique, you help me to see the possibilities and hopefully I can do more quilting in the future.

ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt. But the quilting that you did made that an heirloom for the family that owns in. My goodness that quilting is just simply amazingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of thread changes! Beautiful quilting and yes those are tiny feathers, wow!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moley...another GORGEOUS quilting completion! You do such beautiful work <3
ReplyDeleteSmiles, DianeM
Absolutely gorgeous! The time and care you put in each quilt certainly shines! A well thought out work of art... :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful done in wool! I have looked online at this pattern set a couple dozen times but have not taken the plunge to purchase.
ReplyDeleteMore amazing quilting .... your quilting adds so much to the quilt! I just love looking at your quilting and I hope I am at a show where one of your quilts will be in a booth or in the show. Thank you so much for sharing your quilting with us!
ReplyDeleteI didn't want your photos to end! Jan's "space" makes a wonderful blank canvas for your creativity. LB's beautiful wools and handwork on this quilt "dance". It is a beautiful quilt,. Congratulations .
ReplyDeleteAs always, Linda, your work is awesome. I just love all of the detail that you add to each block. I really love the stars - the entire thing is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteYou have become a quilting master Linda! WOW
ReplyDeleteThat blue is fabulous in that quilt. And oh my...the quilting.....wow!
ReplyDeleteOK-- inquiring minds want to know.... How many color changes did you use as for as thread goes? Beautiful Job.
ReplyDeleteLisa
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful.

You've outdone yourself again, Linda! I just love all the little details. Isn't SO Fine just the best thread, too! You're so brave to use so many colors!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pierogi's! Mr. Squash wants to be adopted by your MIL!
Cheers!
Everytime I see one of your quilting creations, I tell you that you've outdone yourself. But THIS time you've really done it. I keep looking at those pictures and am in total awe of your talents. Now you have me thinking that I need to sign up for the BOM thru PG. With their color choices and your quilting, the finished project is to die for! Congrats on another success!
ReplyDeleteYou are just really coming into your own, my friend. Love it. Keep up the great work. Missing you!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love pierogi, so anytime you have an extra space at the table.....LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can tell that your really really love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think you do need one for yourself!
Making pierogi?? My son would go crazy for that. Funny enough, living in Ireland, there are a lot of Polish immigrants here and a lot of Polish food, but my son prefers the pierogi that we get when we're back in the US.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is stunning!!
I just happened to stop by and read your blog. My socks flew across the room as I studied the pictures of your quilting!! Oh my! It is beyond words beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. I'll be back to fill my eyes and heart again!
