"Raterink Award for Best Machine Quilting" at
Quilts on the Grand 2006
Long Arm Quilting Award at the 2007 AQS show
in Paducah.
1st place in the Merit Quilting/Machine category
at the IQA show in Houston 2007
I started designing the pattern for "Pearls" in 2005.
I finished the paper pattern and started working
on the quilting in early 2006. This quilt was done
on my Classic Plus, completely hand-guided. It
took a lot longer than I had expected. I almost
missed the deadline for entering it at MQS! While
quilting all of the tiny circles, I kept thinking of the
add-a-pearl necklace my Grandma started for me
when I was little. An obvious choice for the name.
(Grandma was very happy!) This quilt, by far, has
the record for the amount of time on my machine!
I am not sure of the number of hours I spent on it,
but it is in the hundreds. I hope you enjoy the
photos.
