Reading the past few posts, all I can say is OMG!. Terrie, the quilt is lovely, a generous gift!

[lorra]

Terrie, it is good to have you back. The quilt will be beautiful. I love the colors you chose.
Have fun at the wedding. I did wear beige at my son's wedding, but only because I wanted too. Keeping my mouth shut is another matter. :lol: As I get older I pretty much say what I want.

Lorra, I think you're cool. 8) I keep my mouth shut and get in trouble anyway. :shock: What good is that. Perhaps I should change my tune. :twisted:

YooHoo Lorna I've done my silver birch quilt. I can't remember which thread we were talking on :lol:

Theme was Autumn

[Reetzbobeetz]

Wendy, that is just fabulous! Beautiful quilting too. How did you bind it?

[Reetzbobeetz]

I don't think she has bound it, a facing perhaps. Great to see what you have come up with after all the discussions about it at Loch Lomond

Is it supposed to be growing sideways?

Wendy,
Your quilt is lovely, looking forward to meeting up with you again at FOQ

I love the silver birch quilt. It is just beautiful. Please discuss the techniques you used. Quilting, color choice, embroidery and design couldn't be better. What's it's size? If it's small it should be a study for something to fill a wall. Beautiful.

It's faced as Rosemary says . I sewed on the binding and sewed close to the seam then took it all to the back with lots of pressing



Lois it's a swap I do with an online friend each year she makes felt and I quilt. I'm meeting her for the first time Wednesday, she has lambs :P

It's raw edge appliqué with the leaves (except 2) printed on some hand dye cotton with metallic paint then cut round leaf shape and bondawebbed on. The stitched branch bunched the fabric so I had to cut a section out :roll:

Then just sewed round and quilted

It's 11 3/4" x 8 1/4"

Oh and I used sharpie to draw on the trunk and sewed and quilted it as well.

Thank you for the encouragement

[idaho]

Just perfect !!

[scottishquilter]

As Marilyn says Wendy - just perfect.

[scottishquilter]

Really nice. I like the leaves and also how the thin lavender and yellow lines draw you in.

[Renata]

So beautiful, Wendy--really made my jaw drop! I'm in awe of so many of your pieces, this one is so gorgeous!
