Stunning sample of fabulous bits of wonderful.
|
Wonderful, wonderful job. We all have been missing you but I have now started following you on your blog. Congratulations!!
|
Your stuff is AMAZING. What talent!
|
You are so talented!!!
|
You really hit a home run this time.
|
WOWZER, Charisma!!! The quilting is GORGEOUS (as always). What a great piece to show off your fabulous quilting.
|
Again I'm in awe! Man I can only dream!
|
Beautiful work as always!
Are you coming to the International Quilt Festival in Houston? Have you ever been? If you are not coming, will you ever come? Inquiring minds want to know! |
Your quilting is amazing-awesome-gorgeous!!!
|
wow wow wow i really really love this quilt...its going to look amazing in your booth at the next show. God has surely blessed you with talent
|
WOW! You chose a perfect 'cheater' fabric to show off your quilting. I'm not sure which side I like better, though. They are both beautiful. Your quilting just gets better and better!
I would bind it with black unless you can find an exact match for the blue. |
If you could find a stripe that matches the rings, buy it, use it. Otherwise, I'm thinking you'd have to make it. It can be done, takes some time tho. Second choice, black or charcoal binding would be great too!
|
Truly Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish to be this good......a girl can wish can't she? Thanks for being an inspiration!
|
WOW !!! Cheater will never enter anyone's mind when they admire your handiwork. You are truly blessed with an amazing talent. Long arm or not, it's the operator that makes the decisions & is ultimately responsible for the results & your results are always AMAZING.
|
I love it and the back reminds of the tin plate ceilings in old houses.
|
Unbelievable quilting!! You did a great job.
|
Charisma, you have produced a truly gorgeous, exquisite work of art. I love the front, but I think I love the back almost as much. Regarding the binding, take your various choices and preview each one, then decide. I trust that you will make an excellent decision & any of your choice are equally beautiful. Take care.
|
What a fabulous way to show your quilting! If that doesn't get you some business at MQX, I don't KNOW what would!!
|
I can't even imagine how you do something like that. Beautiful.
|
The quilting is beautiful, love the white side. :)
|
Wow, you are terrific. Love the words "faith" and "hope" the back is awesome too. Keep up the beautiful LAing
|
I love it! Love it!What a wonderful gift you have! I just have to know though- - What is MQX? Yes Fabric Depot is one of my favorite places on earth, especially when they have their once a month 35% off sale. YEA!:thumbup:
|
Quilting is amazing!!
|
Chrismah, did you put the poly down against the front or the backing? You create the best eye candy I've ever seen! Looking forward to your reply.

Charsima, Honestly once again you prove that you could make a burlap bag look fabulous! Gorgeous quilt and amazing quilting. By "cheater" fabric, do you mean that pattern is the fabric? If so, you made it look quilted!
What is MQX? Re: Fabric Depot: It's my FAVORITE place to buy quilt fabrics other than a wholesale fabric store on Harry Hines Blvd which I frequent when I'm in Dallas. The Yard Sale room at Fabric Depot in back and out in the yard when the weather is nice are my favorite. I begin there and then look at the other fabrics on the main floor (that have been on sale for 35% off when I've been there). I went during the quilt show a few weekends ago and bought waaaaay too much fabric. Thanks so much! Yes..Cheater fabric means I just used one piece of fabric...well I happened to put a border on this one piece of fabric ...so it's not pieced...it's just one cut of fabric with a border added. MQX...is Machine quilters EXP...if you google it you will see all the best teachers in the industry are going to be there and many vendors...it's a show that travels across the country. Tons of inspiration.....tons of quilts. Thanks so much! Blessings C |

Another question: Why did you use two layers of batting? I've been wondering how to make my quilts THICKER without using poly batting.
IF you over quilt poly it flattens out....so that means it doesn't add any signifiacant amount of loft.....and usually when I use two layers of batting I am quilting heavier. I hope that helps. Charisma |

Well Charisma you’ve managed to pull me out of my persistent state of lurking with your once again extraordinary quilting artistry! My daughters & I comment frequently that when we grow up we want to quilt “just like Charisma”. Thank you for the many times you’ve shared your beautiful work over the years & I’ve failed to comment. Please know that my family and I greatly enjoy your work and appreciate your willingness to share with those in this very special community.
Oh thank you so much! I am glad you are no longer a "Lurker" and you are posting to this great community. Thank you so much for your kindness and support...I truly appreciate that! Blessings C |

Well, how did you like 2 layers of batting?
I so wish I could fel it and the drape... Kirsten Hi Kirsten, I have used two layers of batting several times...just not two layers of W&N.....usually a thin batting..adn then a poofy batting like poly or wool is what is used.....but it looks great. It works great. Two layers makes your quilt a little more stiff....but after you wash it....totally fine. Teh one on my bed has two layers of batting adn we have washed it several times. It's perfectly fine. |
Thanks everyone..I apprecaite all your kind comments. Blessings

Your quilting is exquisite.
We have a place in NC called MaryJo's that carries quilt-shop-quality fabric at a discounted price. I was in awe the first time I went there. Then, about 4 years ago, I went to Oregon to meet some online quilting buddies. One took me to Fabric Depot. I think 4 MaryJo's would easily fit inside Fabric Depot. |

Well I don't have a lot of time for piecing......but I love LAQing. ( I think you all know that) So I have been taking "Cheater" prints and making quilts.
I wanted some new samples for my booth ( next show is MQX....YAY!) .....as soon as I saw this at Fabric Depot in Portland..I knew what I could do with it.....I had a hard time choosing which color way I wanted.....in the end I chose this one. The creamy butter center was just perfect for showcase quilting. I had never been to Fabric Depot before....WOW! It was a bit overwhelming....there was so much of EVERYTHING there. If you are ever in the Portland area you should stop by there. I am trying to decide which color of binding to use...the charcoal black color to frame it all in...a pretty stripe? The same blue color as the border? HMMMM? I used two layers of batting....legacy 80/20 and hobbs poly down. I hope you all have a blessed day! I wish I had more time for both piecing and quilting. I wish my quilting was as beautiful as yours. I introduced myself to you at Expo but didn't get much time to talk to you. I am going to try to get to MQX but no guarantees. I will be getting ready for Quilt Camp which is the same week-end. Jere |
Perfect as always, I love looking at your work.
|
I always drool over your work. Just fabulous!
|
Your quilting is beautiful, as is your quilt top.
