During last year's (2011) Quilting Retreat in Phoenix, AZ, I found a pre-printed panel from Michael Miller. It was of an angel holding a lamb. It was simply spectacular. I knew that one of Mr. Pirate's cousins would love it *and* appreciate the work that would go into making something with it.
Michael Miller's company does have a suggested project but it really is dismal. So, I made up my own. :-)
I bordered the panel with Dupioni silk (*NEVER AGAIN*), put machine embroidered words (individually stitched letters put into Cathedral Window blocks) along the right side and along the bottom.
In the bottom right corner, I put an embroidered angel by Sonia Showalter.
Even with the problems I had with longarm quilting the Dupioni silk (*NEVER AGAIN*!), I think it came out very nicely.
Those pictures are just teasers! For all the gory details, links and more pictures, please visit my web page for the Golden Angel wall-hanging. |
