Wow. This is amazing. Beautiful to look at, but I never expect myself to get anywhere to even think about doing something like this. I will content myself with admiring the beauty of the quilt and the talent of the person who made it. Thanks for giving us the link. I am going to pass it on to some of my quilt friends that don't belong to Cuties - if that is OK.

It came in a news letter that is free ,so I can not see why it couldn't be passed on.Some items in the letter you must be a paid up member to view but I don't subscribe to these because of the bad internet connection which often makes videos impossible to hear .

This is pure perfection!!!! I started listening to her explaination of the way she cut each piece of the material and decided in a hurry that It was completely out of my reach as far as even trying to measure, cut, and piece! Can any of you even imagine how much a high range retail store would charge for a quilt like this one? This is just awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I'm trying to decide if she is an obsessive-compulsive genius. To do all that in less than eight months! What an accomplishment. I hope the quilt ends up in a museum where it can be shared with future fiber artists. I found her comment about not using her regular home embroidery machines interesting. Why would an "industrial" machine last longer than my home machine? Why wouldn't a home machine be engineered to last? Does anyone know for how many stitches our home machines are built to last for?

I think industrial machines have a more powerful motor.
Also the sewing machines that were made before the computerized models are a lot easier to fix.Back in the 70's I burnt out a motor & a copper piece in the foot several times until my husband took the offending piece to work & welded another thicker piece over the hole

The quilt was fantastic. When you hear her talk about what all she put into in to planning and executing it, it's just mind bending.... especially all the math used.

I think there is a limit on the number of hours you can put on your embroidery machine in a year's time before your warranty is void as a personal home machine.
