Red Star at Nite

So, What do you think?  My own design!  Yes, I know traditional, but that is ok.  I have been wanting to do something with toile, so here it is.  I was inspired by Charlotte Angotti, after seeing her at Greater Columbia Quilters in Aug.  She used large prints with large snowball blocks to show them off.  So, off I went.  I have also wanted to do a red quilt.  Two for one.  Still have to put the binding on.  Out of the red, so will have to be the black.  Originally I was going to use the white with black as the inner border, but it didnt work, so I used the red from the binding.  Like it allot.  Tried to quilt free motion, from the front of the longarm, couldnt see where I was quilting. I used white thread.  So swapped to a pano and worked great.  So busy you cant see the quilting anyway.

How do you like my name for the quilt?  I am new at naming quilts.

Happy Quilting, Vicki

Charlotte Angotti

This week I have felt much better.  Yea!!!  I was able to go to Greater Columbia Quilt Guild for the monthly meeting.  I was really looking forward it it.  The guest speaker was Charlotte Angotti.  You can see her here. http://www.charlotteangotti.com/  She is a nationally know teacher and has moved to SC.  Charlotte is funny and talented.  She had us laughing so much that I had tears just flowing.  I thought Joyce, sitting next to me would fall on the floor laughing.

Here are a few of the quilts she showed.  I cant tell the stories, you have to here them from her.  I would probably get them wrong any way.

Happy Quilting, Vicki
