Michael's "Ladies of Fashion"

Michael is at it again with his tiny little pieces.  These are mostly queens from history, Queen Elizabeth, Marie Antoinette, but also Isadora Duncan in top left corner.

What really astounds me is the different types of fabrics that he incorporated.   In addition to traditional quilting.  cottons, there are lames, a few other types of metallics and even a home dec fabric or two.  But it all worked out beautifully, and with my amazing APQS Lenni we sailed right through it all.  Quilted with a pattern called "Juliet" which seemed appro. as well.

 

"Cross-stitching" by Emily

This quilt is not out of focus, but the piecing is all made from roughly 2.5" finished squares to give the effect of crosstitch..  Emily had made a matching quilt and quilted it on her DSM, and did straight line quilting at about 1/4" apart.  This is what she asked for on this quilt as well so that they would match.  I was sure that since the fabrics were made from a heavier linen type of fabric, both front and backing, that quilted that densely would result in a very stiff quilt.  It appear that Emily was correct and I believe that she is pleased with how it all turned out.
