I love hand-work/embroidery and appliqué. When I saw this quilt pattern all the criteria were in place. The more detail, the better. It was stitched on a well-washed antique quilt that had hand-pieced and hand-quilted. It was a bit of a challenge to stitch through but love the end result. The detail in the design was amazing to me. I so appreciate designers that are willing to share their incredible imagination.

The Chatham-Kebt Quilters’ Guild is proud to announce the winner of the CQA Bet in Show Rosette at the “Stitches in Bloom” Quilt Show in May. The winner is Janet LaMonte ad the name of her quilt is Vintage Rose> What is really impressive in that this was the first quilt show she has ever entered. Janet quilted for a while about 30 years ago but quit when she went back to work. Then about 5 years ago she decided that she would like to make each of her grandchildren a quilt, so she picked it up again and joined the guild. She says she “hasn’t quit since and it’s taken over my life.”
Janet describes how the quilt came to be: “I saw the pattern for this Judy Niemeyer “Vintage Rose” quilt in a magazine and then waited impatiently until it was released. When choosing my fabrics, I looked at pictures of roses and thought of my mother’s rose garden and decided that if it looked good in nature it would work fine in a quilt. Many, many evenings were spent paper piecing and many, many hours were spent on my long arm quilting it. It was all worth it.” As you can see from the picture, her patience and hard work has resulted in an amazing and beautiful quilt and it was definitely all worth it.

Bernice said “I had a different colour in mind when I planned to make this quilt but when I saw the floral fabric, I had to go with purple. I like how it turned out. I made it into a bedspread size instead of a smaller quilt size instead of a smaller quilt size.”

Floral strips were made several years ago – 30 yards of them, with a different use in mind.
At a 2014 workshop with Deb Beirnes, she encouraged me to use them. I had the blocks pieced that weekend and top finished by the end of the week. Then it sat in my ‘to be quilted’ pile for 2 years, until I decided to dig in and get it done. 8-10 hours piecing and roughly 10x that in quilting.

Being of Celtic heritage the making of this quilt seemed a natural choice. The quilt is in 2 colours. It is hand appliquéd and and quilted. It took her 3 months, working 3 hours a day when the light was at its best.

This quilt requires a huge commitment (in time and sanity). The pattern is called ‘Omigosh’ by the late Sue Garman, which was designed as a twin size. I upsized it to a queen. There are 13,009 pieces and i calculated that it took 117 hours to just piece the quilt top – not including cutting time or the time to quilt it.
