The Slivers quilts draw me in with their movement and colors. <br />My patchwork is of the liberated/Gwen Marston style, though my designs are basic. I also make small abstract landscapes (hand appliqued) that I mat and frame. The Slivers quilts appeal to me because of their 'liberated' style and because I see landscapes in the horizontal strings. Thanks for posting the photos.Kathleen Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006196303709544992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-39243278115759029092011-08-02T15:22:04.714-04:002011-08-02T15:22:04.714-04:00thanks, Norma -- I love to quilt with swoops but i...thanks, Norma -- I love to quilt with swoops but it's only possible with very small pieces -- you need to be able to complete the whole turn without stopping, or the curve isn't smooth. So anything small enough to pivot on the bed of your machine is fine. Doesn't work so well when the quilt is six feet squate.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-59778228635805944642011-08-02T13:59:39.723-04:002011-08-02T13:59:39.723-04:00I especially like the swooping quilting lines that...I especially like the swooping quilting lines that you did on the last one.Norma Schlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979046682608968891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-83246319762853385312011-08-02T11:14:06.589-04:002011-08-02T11:14:06.589-04:00thanks for that tip about pressing. it will help w...thanks for that tip about pressing. it will help with the current project i am working on.d r e whttp://www.flickr.com/photos/drew-o-rama/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-85199569771391552322011-08-02T07:02:00.204-04:002011-08-02T07:02:00.204-04:00Ha!
