Magical beauty of a whole cloth quilt - my festive table runner - quilting with 100 wt thread

Last videos were more on the side of practice and instruction. And I talked… so now it is time for another relaxing video. I used a large piece of solid fabric and matching thread to create a classical table runner. I am using most of the designs I showed you in the last videos. In a way it is quilting on a real project

I will be watching this video multiple times for inspiration. I am making a scrappy quilt, but I don’t have enough of the contrast fabric for the size I want to make. So, I’m using a white center block that’s 12.5 x 12.5 inches and had no idea what to put in that plain, white, cotton twill center block. I think breaking up the block and keeping a white on white would be stunning. Now, to map it out on paper first. Wish me luck.

Hi there! That sounds like a plan. I love to have large negative space in my quilts. Most of the time I do a lot of improv quilting there. Adding stripe elements will do the trick as well. Please let me know how it goes! ❤❤❤

[@louised3535]

Watching again😘a favorite! Thank you!

[@quiltingnerd]

I am very happy to hear it. I finished the quilting, now it is just binding left ❤❤❤

[@sharonharrison484]

Gorgeous workmanship. Absolutely stunning. So many possibilities.

[@quiltingnerd]

Possibilities are endless. And I love how this project is turning out. It will make a great decor on my Christmas table ❤❤❤

[@sheilaghbolt3601]

Absolutely gorgeous! So many options. Love the cream 🤍🤍🤍

[@quiltingnerd]

I made some scetches for variations. Yep, there are some possibilities. I think I could quilt several and get a different look every time. ❤❤❤

[@suzannelilly3081]

I love whole cloth quilts, yours are beautifully stitched! ❤

[@quiltingnerd]

I wanted to make such project in a long time. I love this kind of improv quilting in negative space too. One day I will quilt a whole king size, whole cloth quilt...❤❤❤

[@morganosborne9258]

Thank you for this video. So happy to learn some new goodies and get my mind off the aftermath of Hurricane Helene for this few minutes.

[@quiltingnerd]

Oh no! I hope you were not hit too hard. The forces of nature are terrfifing. We had floods here in Germany and Poland in the last weeks. The damage was extensive. I am very happy to provide few minutes of respite. Even if this is all what I can do. Sending hugs from Germany! ❤❤❤

[@morganosborne9258]

@@quiltingnerd hugs greatly appreciated. North Carolina was hit hard. Massive destruction and many are still without water and power all throughout the affected southeastern states. My family came through safe and their homes weren't damaged, but the damage to structures and roads was unbelievable. It will be a long struggle to get everything cleaned up and repaired.

[@quiltingnerd]

@@morganosborne9258 I have seen reports from South Poland and it is bad enough. The damage to infrastructure is bad enough ut usually state and goverment are repairing that as it is vital for the industry and economy. Getting your life back on track is much worse. It is good that the community sense is so wonderful and people help. ❤❤❤ With hugs and best wishes ❤❤❤

[@louised3535]

Thank you. Your videos are amazing. They have taught me to slow down & enjoy my quilting. Love the pace and the music. So inspiring!

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you for your comment! Yes, quilting is a slow art. It is my form of rebelion against modern life style. I am a working Mum so I have to be fast and efficient, but quilting.... quilting is where I can relax ❤❤❤

[@mkmartin559]

Wow, that 100wt thread really gets the job done gracefully. Note to self: try it! ❤

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you most kindly. I do not have much expirience with it. I love the result, even if my machine has sometimes problems with it. ❤❤❤

[@primrosemcvay2806]

And the last feather is the most freeing, and the eco lines so important I use now whenever possible thankyou very beautiful thankyou Primrose mcvay

[@quiltingnerd]

I am happy you like it. As every creator I love getting such feedback. And I am happy to provide you some inspiration. ❤❤❤

[@renabritnell5497]

Very elegant, I hope to do a whole cloth quilt when I get some more practice in.

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you! Actually, one of my first projects was a whole cloth quilt. It was a small one, a pillow. I still have it and it looks great. As you are using matching thread, misteakes are not that visible. So once you have a good grip on few patterns, go for it. It is super relaxing. ❤❤❤

[@karenvoytas9434]

So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you! 😊❤❤❤

[@primrosemcvay2806]

I never would have thought to add the second wish bones. GREAT LOOK the 100 wt thread doesn't seem to show on video but i love the cream on cream and when i hand quilt i love same color thread as fabric. Primrose mcvay

[@quiltingnerd]

Sometimes I just follow my intuition and not the plan. The truth is, I was a bir daydreaming and spaced my first wishbones too far apart. Sometimes misteakes lead you to better results ❤❤❤. And I agree with you. Filing 100 wt therad is difficult as you use more the shadows than the actual contrast. But the texture is so yummy. ❤❤❤

Thank you! How is your quilting going? ❤❤❤

[@robinsquiltbasket]

@@quiltingnerd I need lots of practice! It’s all over the place and the stitches are very uneven!

[@quiltingnerd]

@@robinsquiltbasket Do not worry about stiches. first try to get the lines smooth. and the spacing between the lines. Rest will follow. Keeping my fingers crossed!

[@katherineshort7103]

Im 71 and you are so talented in how you put this together. I could watch you for hours. I started some practice squares and everything looked good on top then when I truned it over there were eyelashes in some of my curves and it looked like the top thread was showing through in some places. I unthreaded my machine and put a new bobbin in and changed my thread. my machine is picky on thread. it seems as though I cant use large spools they keep unthreading so I went back to smaller spools seems to sew better and not come unthreaded. your wishbones are awesome.

[@quiltingnerd]

Hi there! you mean your body is 71 :) Your soul is super young. It looks like your machine has tons of personality. I hate it when that happens. In between I can almost hear it. And yes, some machines work better with one kind of thread. Mine has huge problems with poylester thread in yellow on large spools. This is very specific! So there is some general advice one can give but rest comes from collecting expirience. Thank you most kindly for your comment and feedback! Keeping my fingers crossed that your machine will behave! Please keep me posted on your progress ! ❤❤❤

[@patriciamullins270]

Wow!! Wow!! Love it!! What material are you using and is it wool batting?

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you most kindly! The fabric is one of the Linen look. It is a solid but with slight texture. And I am using Hobbs 80/20 blend. Just standard. Wool would be too fluffy. ❤❤❤

[@joettewarburton5328]

A great video...as always! I have a question...what thread companies do you have available where you are?

[@quiltingnerd]

Thank you for your feedback! That is a difficult topic. My local quilt shop has a nice selection of Aurifil so I buy it there. Then I use Internet to buy the rest. Wonderfil has an europian outlet that helps, and the on-line shops selling sewing machines have a bit of selections. Amazon is also a source for some of the polyester thread. this is it. ❤❤❤

[@nancywilson8736]

What do you do with all your samples that you make?

[@quiltingnerd]

I get this question a lot....:) pillows, wall hanging, litlle pouches.... and in some cases I keep them as reference for classes and similar. Now I am collecting some to make a QAYG project. ❤❤❤

[@joettewarburton5328]

Also, dear rebel, I hope your voice is getting better.

[@quiltingnerd]

It is getting better, thank you for asking!. However , I know that my videos are better with music. I talk only if I think it is more beneficial for the leraning expirience. ❤❤❤

It is exquisite and so elegant. I am inspired by your talent and teachings. The music is particularly soothing on this video. 🎶💐💖🫂

Hi Carla! I dowloaded new tracks and I am quite happy with them too. If you like good music during quilting I can recommend you Florian Christl and Alexix Ffrench. Their music is perfect. ❤❤❤

@@quiltingnerd Thank you. I do listen to many styles of music.

@@carlaatkins2619 In a way me too, My husband is a heavy metal and rock fan... I picked up some things from him as well. But for quilting I prefer something classical or a really good book. Have a wonderful day!. ❤❤❤
