I panicked and almost did not finish it! - four patch transformation 5/5 - spiral illusion

[@Talk-to-the-Pugs]

I hear your music, I hear your machine, I watch your graceful stitching. I am a quilter for 45 years, but even if I wasn’t your videos always lower my blood pressure, thank you . I know one of my problems with my quilting is my need for speed, I need to slow down and enjoy the process.

[@quiltingnerd]

I always say, quilting is a slow art. And we all need to slow down to relax, to process to start to feel the good things and to start to think our own thoughts. I am working full time, kids, home, so many bad news....Quilting helps me to find my quiet place and to stay sane. I hope you will find your rythm...Hugs from Germany ❤❤❤

Stunning Gosia!! Simply Stunning! Your Mojo is indeed intact. Loved it!

[@quiltingnerd]

Hi Patricia! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. My Mojo is oscilating lately. Quilting this block was challanging, as I had to tell me to push through and see what happens. As a creator, I want to show the best... but there is a lot to learn from going through doubts... ❤❤❤

[@rebekahwilson6418]

I LOVE this!!! Thank you so much for graciously sharing your talent and creativity with us! I don’t always remember to hit the “like” but I certainly eagerly look forward to and enjoy each of your videos. ❤❤❤ …Rebekah from Jackson, Missouri

[@quiltingnerd]

Dear Rebekah, thank you so much for you comment. I learned from KZbin and now it is time to give back. Quilting is one of those wonderfully beneficial crafts I want to help to keep it alive. And I love cuddling under quilts :) ❤❤❤

[@robinsquiltbasket]

The illusion is incredible!

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you! It is a bit like magic. It takes time to get it going but once you have half of the project done, suddenly you see it. Quilting takes time, but it is worth it. ❤❤❤

[@dypick]

This is my favorite of the 4 patches. Thank you.

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you most kindly! It is one that grabs attention for sure :) I like it becasue it is modern, surprising, and cool :) I have to make a larger project using the illusion ❤❤❤

[@sylvia6607]

Wouaooouuuhhh c est sublime ❤❤❤

[@quiltingnerd]

It was fun to quilt, after some time. There was a moment of doubt but I knew I cannot take it apart, and it was the last video in the series. I had to finish it... Now I am happy with it ❤️❤️❤️

[@louised3535]

This turned out so amazing.

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@suzannelilly3081]

Again, your quilting is amazing. I’m going to try with a curved ruler. Thank you!!!

[@quiltingnerd]

There are so many possibilities tu create this illusion. Curved lines add extra dynamics. Have fun experimenting! ❤❤❤

[@annmargaret1639]

WOW! I learn so much every time! I am NOT ready for that!🎉😮

[@quiltingnerd]

It is not that difficult. Please take a look at the videos I linked. The principle is quite easy, it only looks complex. It is an illusion :) ❤️❤️❤️

[@sew1derful]

This design is spectacular! Thank you for sharing!

[@quiltingnerd]

Glad you like it! I was not sure about it, till it was done. 😅

[@renabritnell5497]

This "illusion" is an amazing design. You did a beautiful job with it, I am afraid that it's out of my skill range, but I do really love it.

[@quiltingnerd]

Hush, please do not say such things. The construction of this pattern is not that difficult. I put links to three videos on the basics of this pattern in the description box of the video. Check them out and try first on the paper. ❤❤❤

[@kathymarlowe2164]

It is not really hard, but I would definitely recommend you start with just straight lines! Give it a try with a simple square.

[@kathymarlowe2164]

I’ve only done this with a straight ruler, but I can see I need to get a curved ruler! Such a simple design to do but what a great effect!

[@quiltingnerd]

It works with many shapes. I watch sometimes doodling videos for inspiration. there are so many ideas out there ❤️❤️❤️

[@rootsrocksfeathers1975]

I love the spiral! Great job, Gosia. It turned out the way it was always supposed to, I think. Mine is almost done on the piecing, but it grew, LOL. I have to wait for the batting I ordered to show up next week before I can begin quilting. Then I have to decide what kind of quilting to do on it. That is the hardest thing, usually, for me. Hope you have an awesome week. ~Cynthia P.S. the "insert favorite cuss word here" made me LOL. I can relate!!

[@quiltingnerd]

Dear Cynthia, I hope you are doing well! This quilting process was a bit challanging. Pushed me out of my comfort zone. Now I have a pile of projects that need binding. ugh... I cannot wait Christmas break. Then I will have more time. Right now, it is all about finishing projects, finishing the year activities... But there is new fabric coming, new ideas....Have a good day and don't worry, your quilting concept will come. We just need to start :) ❤❤❤

[@elainesmith5980]

New to your work and a new subscriber! I look forward to viewing all your previous and future work. Thank you for posting.

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@carlaatkins2619]

First, I lo e that you show us real-time quilting; very relaxing. Next, I think this is spectacular. Wonderful. Awe-inspiring. Creative. Joy. 🎶💐💖🫂

[@quiltingnerd]

Dear Carla, you knwo that I never accelerate my videos. This is sending the wrong message. We need slow things in our life. Now everything has to be compressed in single minutes.... I am a slow quilting rebel! Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤❤❤

[@ТатьянаГнусарева-й8в]

👍🧡🥰

[@quiltingnerd]

❤❤❤

[@martajones6006]

Extraordinary! 🎉 What brand are your rulers?

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you most kindly!. I do not have a favorite brand. I look for the form. In this case I was using handi quilter circle rulers. My straight ruler is custom made ❤❤❤

[@zanzibarbuttercup]

Amazing! How do you move your sewing head if you have two hands on the ruler?

[@quiltingnerd]

I quilt on a domestic machine....I do not use a long arm. So I move my sandwich under the machine. Thank you for your feedback! ❤❤❤
