Judy's quilting

Judy loves to hand-quilt, but she doesn't like to be in photos. *grin*

This is an enormous Dresden Plate quilt she just finished. It is quite heavy - two people found it difficult to hold up properly for a photo.
Check out the Dresden Plate design quilted on the blank squares.

Update: Judy has been learning free-motion machine quilting in our UFO (UnFinished Objects) sessions.. (see the class list on the side bar for more information). Get out of her way! She is quilting up a STORM!!!
Go Judy!!

Quilting - hand or machine

What do you want to know about quilting? Check out these books:

Alex Anderson's book will show you her tried and tested method of hand quilting.

Would you like to practise (and use) some continuous-line quilting designs with your free-motion quilting foot? Mindful Meandering contains 132 original designs. You don't need to worry about marking your quilt first - just mark dots in a grid and free-motion the rest!!


How about geometric designs with very little marking? It's easy! One Line At A Time shows you how to make easy geometric designs - you won't believe how these just come together by stitching one line at a time. The book includes "inchie tape" - sticker grids so you don't need to mark the quilting lines!! VBG.
