Judy Steward = Machine Quilter Extraordinaire!

I just went down to Judy's studio to pick up the quilt that she quilted for me.  I must say she out-did herself this time!  She was happy to admit that many of the unique ways she quilted this quilt were ideas that she got from Rose Hughes' book, DREAM LANDSCAPES, which I had taken to her.

Pictures tell more than words, though, so I will let the photos speak for themselves.  I thought I would wait until the quilt was bound, but I just couldn't stand to wait to share this quilt!  (Incidentally, Rose included a way to face a quilt in her directions in the pattern I had bought; coincidentally, Judy had just watched a DVD about this method of finishing, and she was urging me to try this technique.)

Anyway, here are the photos.  Click to enlarge, and I think you'll see why I am so excited and delighted with Judy's work.  What a treasure she is!

  3. I agree with Linda...can feel your excitement. I would be also. The quilting looks like Judy was smiling the whole time she was working on it, as it has such a "happy feel". ( Not coming out in words the way I want but hope I am making some kind of sense? ).

  4. Beautiful, and very appropriate for Marie. I'm sure she will love it. I use my quilt almost every day--it lives on my favorite chair. Mac likes it too, draping himself in it when he gets up for better sleep.
