Quilting Summer Games

9/16/2016

 
My Summer Games quilt is finished.  I completed the binding in my hotel room in Denver and showed the quilt to those at the Electric Quilt Academy during my lecture on Friday night.  And now I would like to share it with you.

By the way, I am totally sold on the 3 day immersion program for expanding your Electric Quilt skills.  I taught the beginner class. My students were awesome and by the end were confidently drafting blocks in Easy Draw, importing fabrics from the internet and even creating a Row by Row quilt.

It was also great having Electric Quilt staff in the classroom to answer questions and assist students as well.

Back to the Summer Games quilt.

Summer Games Quilt by Kari Schell
This week I thought I would share close ups of the quilted sporting blocks.  When quilting these blocks, I tried to come up with textures that would complement the design.  I outlined many of the shapes.  Most of the work was done freehand.  This technique works equally well on longarm machines and domestic sewing machines.  There are some wobbles as a result -- but I don't think it detracts from the overall look of the quilt.

Just a reminder I will be teaching a class on paper piecing the Northwoods Loon quilt on September 24th at Grueber's Quilt Shop in St. Cloud MN.   That is next Saturday. 

I would love to see you there.  

Make sure to call them to register for this class.

Come Said the Wind Small Quilt by Kari Schell
The leaves will be turning shortly -- and it is time to display my Come Said the Wind quilts.  

For my followers, I am offering a sale on the bundled version of 
Come Said the Wind which includes the two quilting designs.  The bundle is on sale for $15  (that's 50% off the non-bundled prices).  No digital longarm system -- there are also pdfs of the quilting designs that may be copied and resized.  Best of all you can get started today with downloads of everything.
Piecing Pattern: 
The poem in the quilt was written by George Cooper, an American poet who lived from  1838 – 1927.  The large wall hanging finishes to 33”□, while the small one finishes 15” x 12”.  To make construction easier, many sections in the quilt use over-sized piecing along with specialty rulers. If you cannot find the specialty ruler, instructions are provided for use of traditional rulers. Purchase pattern only here.

Maple Leaf Border Design:  This pattern could be used as a border design or an edge to edge pantograph. 

Maple Leaf Triangle and Point to Point Design:  This pattern could be used as a triangle design or a point to point design to fill a series of setting triangles.  It was specifically designed to complement the Come Said the Wind piecing pattern.  It works great in both miniature and larger triangles.

Purchase BUNDLE here for immediate download.

Love the quilting! I could feel the motion - especially the fencing! You have a good feel for it for sure. So glad your academy experience was so positive! You're a great instructor!
