cathedral windows quilt
I have never been able to understand how a cathedral windows quilt is made, until I made one. This is my learning project. I have since added a couple of rows and will keep adding them until I think it is finished. I sew the block on my machine,…

"Danielle, I made three centers on my dahlia. The first was brown and I did not like the look of it with the other fabrics. The second was yellow with the same result. The third I used in the quilt. The experience helped in getting the center right,…"

"I just looked at your discussions. Is this the quilt you finished for your friend? If so, I commend you. I have done that for a number of people and it is most rewarding to see how happy they are with the finished quilt."

"I really like this quilt. I made a couple scrappy hexagon quilts with small patches. I hand quilted mine. I am assuming you hand pieced this. What are the dimensions? How did you choose the fabrics? This is sending me back to the scrap stash. I…"

Hi Orville,
Thanks, I really am a novice quilter, and receiving your kind words has given me such a lift.
We have an Irish connection too !! How lovely.
Although now living in Ireland, I was born in England to Irish parents. So finally full circle I am back to my roots.

oh my! thank you so much for sharing the pictures of the quilt show. it's absolutely stunning to me what people do with fabric. anyone who feels that quilting is not an art should attend one of these quilt shows. it would quickly make a believer out of them.

Orville, I'm very pleased to meet you! I'm thrilled to see a guy who can appreciate quilts, and make them besides. My hubby doesn't have an eye for art of any sort, so it's nice to see a male perspective on my work :). And someday, if I work really hard, maybe my quilting will be as wonderful as yours.

Orville, I am fairly new to this site. Please tell me how long you have been doing this. Your work is beautiful.

Orville, you have quite turned my head with your compliments. I am so glad your picture includes a lovely lady, to whom we need an introduction.
I am amazed that a hand quilter can do so many quilts in a relatively short amount of time. I am so tickled to see old favorite patterns like the applecore. I guess I will have to start adding some more of my older pictures in to my personal gallery to keep up.
