This is a continuation of 6 previous posts about the making of Garden Lady #8. I quilted the background in circles in two different sizes, 1-1/4" and 1", by using a machine template from Quilters Apothecary.
The dress and sash were quilted in meandering and circular shapes, and the face and arms were quilted on my domestic machine in matching threads. I don't know about you, but sometimes when I'm in the depth of quilting, I feel like it takes forever! Of course, it is only days, perhaps closer to a week. I guess I'm spoiled by all of my cool machines that make it easy for me to complete my art quilts at home. I did have to put some leaves on the quilts before quilting because they needed to be behind the pumpkins. And, of course, I forgot to take another picture when the quilting was done. Dang it!
I put the quilt on the floor of my sewing room and scattered the leaves from about 5' above, letting them drop wherever they wanted to. Here is the picture after they were scattered:
And here I am on my hand and knees, pinning them in place. (Well, I'm taking the picture while I'm on my hands and knees!)
I hope you like it so far.
