Just off the table
This quilt took about 4 hours longer than planned. I used the CL Featherz in all the blocks, plus SID around then. I'm very pleased with the end
results. The quilt is very soft and feminine.

OMG - that is fantastic. I have been debating on getting a CL and I think you just helped me make the decision. I am about to start quilting for a
business after quilting for myself for two years so I thought the CL would be a great addition for quilting business.
I love your work, you are an inspiration!!!!!

Very pretty. I like those soft pastel quilts with just a medium low contrast.

Beautiful quilt! Gorgeous quilting. I'd say you've mastered CL! That's a great quilt design, too. What's it called? Are those "thirties"
fabrics? The featherz template complements the quilt top beautifully!

That settles it--I just about have my machine paid for--and then I am ordering the Circle Lord--on the payment plan of course.
Great job on that quilt!!

Jolene,
This is a beautiful quilt and your quilting just made it better. Did we ever decide what this pattern was? I think I might like to make it! Thanks
for showing the finished project. Your customer should be very pleased.

Nice job. I like how you did just the inner feathers on the small blocks.

Thank you all, I delivered it to the client today and she really liked it. She then asked if I had anything on my table and could she jump to the
front of the line. She'd like this one done by Tuesday. She is sooooo funny. NOT!
Beth, the CL is a very good investment. I really like the featherz template, it still takes time to do but the results are extremely nice.
Janice, I forgot to ask her today what the name of the pattern is. I will be seeing her again on Wednesday (not to deliver the above mentioned quilt),
I'll have to remember to ask her.

Great Job Jolene
You did a wonderful job on this quilt. The CL feathers look great on it and the quilt really takes on a whole new look. Very impressive.

That turned out VERY pretty! All I could come up with was the SID and "something?" in the center! You done good!

Ah, another inspirational piece. My DD gave me a top made from repro fabrics and I'm thinking of doing feathered wreaths and fill in with
feathers--thanks for the idea. Lovely job!

I love the customer who asks if they can slip into someone elses place. I had one that called last week and she does this every year. The call
starts out, how are you, what are you up to? How is the family? on and on...
could you slip a king size quilt in for me? Do anything you want...
My prepared answer is, if i have time there will be a rush charge, I'm taking time away from my Christmas making to do your quilt.
I have one lady I haven't heard from this Christmas yet, that does this and then asks when she drops it off if I will apply and sew down the binding.
Hmmmm.... LOL
I will only take in 2 rush jobs this year.
When looking threw my Christmas fabric I found the gifts I made for my kids, just the tops... wonder who I can find to quilt that at this late date.

That's too funny... I know there are a couple piecers in this area starting to make the calls to see which of us LA'ers will put a rush in for them.
