Most of you will probably recognize this quilt. This is the quilt top I made from Fat Quarter shop vintage and classic block series. I got it back from the quilter this week. It was my first time sending out to Sharon, Grass Roots Quilt Studio, but I had seen her work and knew we would be on the same page.
We had a facetime conversation and it worked out great as she was able to show me a few different classic options of quilting. I wanted to keep this one very traditional.
We also have had masses of rain so there was no hanging this one outside for photos.
Isn't it lovely?
This photo was my inspiration. I get to see these mountains on a regular basis.
So, I printed what I wanted on paper.
Taped fabric over the top of it, held my breath, then printed on my fabric. (darn smudge!)
A sprayed lightly with a clear coat, then washed it to check the stability.
Happy Wednesday!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt! Everything about it is just perfect.
Gorgeous! I've not tried printing labels before; what is the clear coat you spray with?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and great label idea!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS quilting! Sharon outdid herself!
ReplyDeleteYay! It worked! Your label looks great and your classec Delectable Moutains is so beautiful.
ReplyDeletebtw I usually bind and wash my quilts before adding the label, "just in case". I just baste the binding area where I ll be tucking in the label. Mostly that s because the new quilt may shrink, and the label will be able to lie smoothly. Either step is fine tho.
Try ironing your fabric onto a piece of 8 1/2 X 11 freezer paper then sending it through the printer. I make wonderful labels this way!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning!! Absolutely love it.

Your quilt is beautiful and I'm sure you will have no problem selling it. I often print labels from my computer. I love how they look and don't wash out. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt & quilting, I love.
ReplyDeleteLori, What a beautiful quilt! I love two color quilts and this one is gorgeous. Sharon Tucker's quilting is perfect for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteA really great two-color quilt. Thanks for sharing the inspiration photo. You captured the feel very well. Then Sharon capped it off with gorgeous quilting! She does such beautiful feather work, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteInteresting label method. I have never seen that before.
Great job Lori and .Sharon. I really like the Delectable Mountains pattern.Sharon's quilting always blows me away.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt and the quilting look wonderful Lori, but you lost me regarding the label. Tried looking on the other blog but no luck.
ReplyDeleteCan you explain the steps please? Thanks.
I put the steps info on Lori's facebook page, I think January 6th. Scroll thru the comments, my name on FB is Sunny Dillingham.
DeleteThe reason to tape the small square of fabric instead of ironing an entire 8 x 11 piece of fabric to a sheet of freezer paper is 1-easier, no exact cutting, 2-saves fabric, 3-eliminates the evil result of the fabric and paper jamming and wadding up in your printer, if you have a crummy printer like I do.
It's a stunning quilt! Sharon's work is like frosting on the cake.
ReplyDeleteThat's one gorgeous quilt! Sharon's quilting is perfect for this top!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Lori! Love seeing the label process, as well as the amazing mountain inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt. The quilting Sharon has done is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI added step by step directions for my Easy Labels, on my blog, Lori has the link, above.
ReplyDeleteYour Delectible Mountains both out your window and the quilt are beautiful. The gorgeous feathered quilting made all of the empty spaces come alive. Someone will definitely treasure it.
