Kathie at Inspired by Antique Quilts pointed out to me that she (Diane) actually does her fabulous work on a Bernina. This makes her work even more impressive (to me) than it already was.
Also, I find this error rather ironic on two counts. At my Day Job, I never ASSUME anything ~ as a software quality assurance engineer. It's my job to catch the mistakes other people make because THEY'VE made false assumptions!
And I actually provided a link to Diane Gaudynski's website which clearly states that she uses a Bernina. When I went to the website, I got so distracted by all the pretty pictures, I didn't actually read the text. Silly Didi!
Ok, now on to other stuff.
Ok, now on to other stuff.
I took a short break from my forray into the world of Applique to finish another lap quilt. It's yet another quilt built from swap blocks. Yes, I am forever swapping!
This swap consisted of 12" Nine patch blocks. I'm not sure what the other participants did with their blocks, but I knew I wan't to do a Disappearing 9-Patch. I like how the black border and binding framed the deep predominantly jewel toned colors.
And because I didn't ~ and still don't (poor me) have a lovely Bernina capable of super cool embroidery, I went over to my LQS (Quiltworks Northwest) and had them make this beautiful label for me. I think it's really fabulous. 
I put the label on the back before I did the quilting, and I realize that I didn't even think about placement. Oh well!
It is an amazing thing to see Diane Gaudynski's quilting! She is an incredible quilter. I believe that Harriet Hargrove, Sue Nickels, and Ricky Tims also do all of their machine quilting on a regular Bernina sewing machine. Sigh..... maybe one day.
ReplyDeletehey I totally understand I am always in awe when I see her quilts...forget the words give me the pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt and the label is fine!
Its labeled and thats what's important

Your d9p looks great! It is such a fun pattern and one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYour D9P looks great! I love it! And the label is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the muddy colors that DG uses too...
ReplyDeleteLove the way your 9-patch ended out!
Ooh, I really like that quilt! The colors and layout are awesome. The scrappiness definitely elevates it above your standard disappearing nine patch.
ReplyDeleteHi Dionne, I just dropped by to say a quick hello. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDiane's quilting is amazing. I have a Bernina 440 which should be able to do a fancy quilting job, but it would take a very talented quilter to do so. So far I've only been able to do stitch in the ditch and sewing over a pattern on tissue paper.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in your quilt.
I think your D9P came out great! And hooray for you for getting a label on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of anyone that can do such fabulous quilting on a home machine. I send my quilts to a long-armer, except for the little ones. I'd love to quilt like that!
Her quilting is awesome. I like your dissappearing nine patch.
