I am SO happy with how this quilt turned out! I have an older APQS and I am not sure if it is an early design flaw or simple wearing from being an older used machine but I have always struggled with pantographs. Being that Urban Elementz has given me the amazing opportunity to co-design for them, I wanted to use my pantographs and have them come out just as pretty as all my other quilts! AH! So I spent some time fiddling with my machine trying to come up with a solution, and I bought a few aluminum strips that I use as a support so that I can stitch without the table on my machine. OH what a difference it made!!! No more womply curves - and a whole new world of quilting has just opened for me! :)
Here is Cindy's gorgeous quilt (she always sends amazing quilts, truly!) with Deja Vu stitched out onto it...
Oh I am just so happy with how elegant it came out. I am in love. :) I'm so happy that Cindy was also pleased too and I am thinking I might put together a few baby quilts and use some of my new pantographs on. Yay!
Waiting for my roll of batting to arrive and I will be working next on Bobbie's Sew Spooky quilt - she has been waiting for MONTHS and I bet she is super excited to see some photos! I am excited too! :)
Happy Quilting!

Laura's Quilts - Free Hand Allover Quilting
Just sharing a few shots of Laura's quilts! She requested a medium density all over E2E design similar to what I've done in the past for her. Here is what I came up with to coordinate with her quilts. I will try and get a couple full shots when I pull the second quilt off the frame today! :)
These are both all over edge to edge free hand designs. ;)

Cindy's Quilt - Feather Swirl
Wheew! It's been a busy couple of weeks. I finished another of Cindy's gorgeous quilts - to which she asked if I would quilt a feather swirl design in a similar fashion to that of Judy's from Green Fairy Quilts. My feather swirl is not identical...but I'd say it's pretty swirly, and it's pretty feathery! :)
Wowie zowie was this a big quilt! So big I could hardly take a photograph! LOL I love how it turned out and I'm glad Cindy asked me to do this design! :)
