Harvest Moon



This was the first project using Vicki's hand dyed gradients.  I decided to use it to teach.  So I worked on it in segments, filming as I went.   The first part was posted as a Premier video on MQR last month.  The final segment is done and currently uploading, so hopefully we'll get it posted and available to Premier members tomorrow.

I designed this pattern specifically to go with Vicki's fabric...the fabric really makes this quilt glow! SO be sure to get some of these gorgeous gradients from Vicki.

Soon, the pattern and fabric will be available as a kit...just as soon as Vicki and I (mostly me) get it all together.

So, I guess you want to see the quilt....  Well, I still have to do the edge finish...it'll be faced with some additives along the edge.  But it's done except for that.

I used two layers of batting; Quilters Dream wool over Warm & White.  Threads used include Superior metallic, So Fine, King Tut, and Lava.  The leaves are dimensional with finished edges and beaded centers; the shadows are painted Lutradur; the moon is painted Lutradur and Angelina.

    I spent time last week watching all the videos available. I have a new super duper laptop so it's a dream to watch the videos.

  12. I like the rays and the background quilting a lot. The rays really compliment the gradient too -- leading your eyes right down and out.
