Now that my storm at sea which is known as Love calms the seas is on the frame
Quilting could now commence, I managed to finish the border quilting yesterday
It was time for some Sunday stitching to form the wavesI decided to do two rows of quilting approximately a 1/4" apart and then about and inch apart mimicking the curving which is formed within the pattern of the quilt. I decided the waves of the green section would go one direction and the blue section would be quilted in the opposite direction, giving the illusion of a storm at sea. The plan is to make the hearts which are embedded within the quilt pattern to be calm and still, hence the new name, "Love Calms the Seas"
I hope you all have a wonderful slow stitching Sunday
All the very best and have a wonderful week Wendy
You Love Calms the Seas looks to be off to a wonderful beginning... this looks fun to quilt too! You get to enjoy the texture you are quilting in to the piecing you put so much time into as well! Thanks for sharing :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteKathi, yes this is a fun quilt and I am really enjoying adding my waves
DeleteI'm so glad you joined up at Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching, Wendy! I just LOVE your stitching pattern on your Love Calms the Seas! I'm afraid I won't be making much progress on my Storm at Sea as I'm trying desperately to get a king-sized top for our bed pieced before I start on an herringbone quilt for my daughter and son-in-law.
ReplyDeleteKathy I am glad I have joined in slow stitching Sunday also. I am sure you will enjoy quilting your storm at sea afternoon you have completed your current projects
DeleteLove how your quilting gives such depth to the quilt design! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have linked to slow sewing Sunday, and I was hoping for the addition of depth and it is really working well and keeping my heart jumping for joy
DeleteIt's looking wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Deb, most appreciative of your comment.
ReplyDeleteWendy, I have been watching as this quilt got pieced on the FB group. I love what you are doing with the quilting. It really is emphasizing the pattern and will add a lot to the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla, it seems to be coming alive the more I sit and quilt
ReplyDeleteI am in awe! You are hand quilting this, aren't you? I do a lot of hand quilting, but not sure I would have the patience for 1/4 inch apart!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am hand quilting Carol, I don't think it needs patience as it is very therapeutic to hand quilt
ReplyDeleteStorm at Sea is one of my all-time favorite quilt patterns. Yours is spectacular! And hand quilting-no less!! What a treasure!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it has been fun and I know it will be treasured
DeleteLove the quilting on this one. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my daughter loves it. Thanks for stopping by
