But first let me thank PAULINE who is first on our list today...she has many superpowers....she is kind, sweet, one heck of stitcher. She has powers behind the wildest of imaginations for a quilter...She can do anything and has...can even cheer with all of her heart... Thank you Pauline, you are a cheerleader that stands above the rest time and time again...
TO DMC who was our sponsor....threads were shared with a few of our ladies... thank you for also stitching with us... That was certainly a nice treats
MONDAY APRIL 21
QuiltnQueen ( our cheerleader for this hop)
Malini's Quilting Adventure Pig Tales and Quilts My Stitchin-n-Stuff pieces by polly ( must have forgotten about her day...)
Buzzing and Bumbling The Distracted Domestic Sew We Quilt And now for my reveal....simply put. you could say I am CREATIF...( creative in English)
So with this superpower, I created and designed this QUILT DUVET.. your typical quilt does not provide the warmth I needed for my day bed in my office. SOOOOO I designed a quilt, hand embroidered and hand quilted it all ....added a final layer of ticking after it was all stitched.. machine stitched 3 sides and buttoned the end piece that tucks into the day bed....ohhhh of course not before I added self covered buttons in gingham... I slipped the bleached and processed goose down custom sized duvet I made last weekend...
I topped it with silk ribbons, only one black...a dear sweet lady shared it would stand out more this way... I even stitched the same image on my pillow and added ruffles...
There was soooo much gingham in the room with the valence and curtains.. a plain white duvet seemed the perfect addition..
I hand embroidered a prayer around the 3 sides of my day bed... Every quilt I have ever made has embroidery incorporated in each one... although a very simple design, visually it is very inviting...
When I hand quilt, I pull my threads just a little so it has all these gathers... something you just cannot achieve in machine quilting.... I just like the puffiness of it all... Here is my berry girl, she is 3 feet tall by 2 feet wide...
I added velvet buttons to the bottom of her dress, compliments of Shellys buttons and MORE....and yes a silk ribbon to her hair... she is dated for May 2014....when I was grafting and stitching her, I was not sure I would have the whole quilt duvet completed this month...but I did ....so May stays...guess I will have to add a little something to her in May to justify the date....I will think of something...wink..
The prayer is befitting of any prayer before your head touches the pillow..
this is what is between the layers of the quilt.... still your typical PELLON batting ...that is my topper.. but the inside is filled with bleached and processed 100% goose down.. I made it into a winter weight, so it is quite puffy verses a summer weight..
T-cup who seldom engages in my photo shoots was taken by this Quilt Duvet...she has found a new spot to cuddle in during the day....I usually lay a wee red blanket on my day bed for her to cuddle on..
And here is the close up of my pillow case to match it all...CRE atif...yes I suppose you could say that is my superpower....
Thanks to all who stitched along....it was such a treat to see your SUPERPOWER..
