I am thrilled to share these - before purchasing my long arm I was dabbling in this style of heirloom quilting on my domestic machine and was having a great time. It has taken me almost a year to get to this point on my long arm...where I can do detail work! I have an older machine so it's a little more finicky to move...and I also have no stitch regulation so the learning curve was a bit longer...but I'm thrilled to be able to create this kind of quilting...finally!!

These are Victorian/heirloom inspired stockings. I'm a huge fan of Cindy Needham and her linen quilts and I am making three stockings for each of my daughters in that style. I want to add beads and vintage lace to these when done, but I'm still playing and making it up as I go! Fun!!

The first photo is a close up of the front of the first stocking, and the second is the reverse side. I think I'm going to do these trapunto effect feathered backings for all three, but the front will have different patterns.

These are just stunning!!! If you could share some info I'd be grateful... Did you actually add additional batting to the tapunto areas, or is that just the effect of dense quilting around the feathers? What batting did you use???
