Ancient Trapunto Quilt

Victoria & Albert Museum. Detail: Tristan Trapunto Quilt circa 1360-1400 a.d.

See the post and how-to videos about trapunto at the blog: Adventures of a Wanna-Be Seamstress. I like this design. I wonder how the quilt stayed is such good condition over the centuries.

Machine Quilting by Jill Schumacher

Jill Schumacher of California says that machine quilting is like learning to ride a bike. Isn't her quilting beautiful? She offers classes, workshops and retreats. For details visit Quiltmaker to the Queen. 

Jill has quilted more than 550 quilts! I love the hummingbird!
