Fire and Ice Feathered Star

This beauty was pieced by my good friend Lou Ann and I custom quilted this for the current year fund raiser for Golden Needles Quilt Guild.   I choose to try  digital quilting designs by Peak to Prairie Quilting.  It turned out pretty spectacular!  Tickets are now on sale.













One view as I was building and stitching out the designs.  I basically stitch one element at a time.



Having a 26" throat space which shrinks down to about 22" quiltable area, to quilt these designs in a continuous stitching path, you must turn the quilt.   Hand guided, you can roll back and forth but it is such a pain!   You have to unclamp from each side, roll, clamp each side again and stitch - then repeat! 


Center details in red thread.

What a beauty this quilt is! So crisp and sharp- just eye-catching. Such a nice event for you and Bob to be part of, too.

Just discovered your blog and I love to see your work. Truly beautiful job!
I am trying to learn custom quilting on my Innova with Mach3 and you are very inspiring.
I am not in business, purely a hobby that is very addictive.
Question: on this quilt, did you do much SID? I struggle on that issue, when should you or not SID?
