Here are the updated images for the green feathered star quilt:
I am now working on the center quilting design, and plan to finish quilt on Monday. Here is the center section, with a pin in the picture to show you scale. I added some SID to the center star area, too:
I will update this post later to provide what designs are quilted freehand and which ones are digitized. You all know I love to give credit to designers if I use a stencil or digitized design on a quilt.
Enjoy your weekend! Carla
I am working on a small quilt project- a feathered star quilt. Here is a picture taken during the quilting, since I am mid-way through the quilting. I plan to finish this quilt tomorrow.
If you look closely, I am adding some linear texture in the negative space between the motifs in the green area.
The quilt top was pieced by a friend and given to me as a gift years ago. I decided it would be a fun quilt to turn into a wallhanging.
Other news: Been drawing away on some new quilting designs to be turned into digitized designs for computer quilters and embroiderers. I have to wait to show you the designs, until they are released for sell at Digitech Patterns. I promise to share more designs when they become available.
Recent Pixeladies Class- We have had another successful class and have enjoyed the students! We are trying something different- adding an extra week to allow extra time for students to turn in homework. This was based on student feedback, so we decided to give it a try.
Your turn- what are YOU working on?
I am almost done with Nancy’s last quilt.
Nancy Gwyn passed away last year and she is greatly missed. Nancy was a truly gracious southern lady, born on January 24, 1924 in North Carolina. I had the pleasure of quilting many of her quilts over the years, and sharing in the joy when they won awards in both North Carolina and California.
I decided to quilt Nancy’s quilt in a light to medium custom density. The quilt includes lots of freehand work with a touch of digital design. She always left the quilting design decisions to me.
Here are some pictures taken before the Stitch-in-the-Ditch and any fill- which I do as a last step when I quilt. The quilt is still loaded on my table:

Off to finish Nancy’s quilt now… Btw, the 2 digital designs used in this quilt came pre-loaded with my IQ computerized system. All other quilting designs are mine.
Hugs, Carla
