  1. SOrry, Only the Cogs and the Aztec is still available. I will change the post. I apologize for not doing that sooner.
  2. Hi Nancy, I sent you an email a week or so ago. Did you receive it?
  3. I have a few boards for sale Aztec - list $89, asking $15 Cogs - list $169, asking $30
  4. I just wanted to update this post to let you all know that I have sold a couple of the long boards but still have a couple left. The Mini Clam is great for quilting around applique and the Celtic Wave is very fast. Birdie is elegant. Also - I have a large box on wheels that my friend made for me specifically to store the long boards and it fits under the longarm. It will hold around 15 sets! If you have purchased some of my boards, then this box is free for you. If you didn't purchase any boards then there is a nominal cost of $25. HOWEVER, you have to be able to pick it up as this is not something I can ship. I am in the Kitchener area in Ontario, Canada. If you are interested, please contact me. Here is a picture of it:
  5. I have a number of Circle Lord boards for sale. Please message me, or email from my site www.carolinequilts.blogspot.ca. I will accept a reasonable offer if purchasing more than one. Prices are in Canadian dollars. If you are in the U.S. the price will be 25% lower. Shipping costs are not included in the price. Circle Lord Giant Boards (king) - $225 each: Birdie Celtic Wave Mini Clam Pampas Clam -- SOLD Seven Treasures of Bhudda -- SOLD Circle Lord Design Boards: Aztec - $60 Mini Aztec - $45 Cogs - $115 Spirals - $45
  6. I have used Circle Lord boards from almost the day I bought my machine and love them! They helped me get up and running quilting customer quilts with ease and accuracy. The giant boards are so much easier than pantographs - and faster! I also love the cross-hatch system with the push button control. I am moving to a computerized system (sorry Michael!!!), but I still plan to keep a number of my Circle Lord components - particularly the cross-hatch system and the cross-hatch up front system (smaller boards) because I just don't think any computerized system could match the ease of use.
  7. Thank you everybody! To answer some questions - Yes, I do also sell fabric. The area above the quilts on display (work orders) is a cement ledge that was built in the basement when we moved there. I wish it were a table where I have room to store underneath, but it's not. We're not sure why that area wasn't excavated when the original work was done - we thought maybe it was a big rock or something (or maybe Uncle Albert's tomb )! We covered the front of the ledge with beadboard to give it a clean look and then hung dowels on hooks for hanging quilts. I can get a lot of quilts hung up that way. The ledge on top is about 4' deep and therefore the fabrics sit lengthwise. The shelves are from Costco - two 6' shelves that we used as 5 shorter shelves - we were able to cut the shelves to any height we wanted with a pipe cutter. My contractor had great ideas and showed me how to cut pipe!. Another great idea he had was to put pegboard up when he enclosed the steal support beam. On the other beam he added the light switches and an electrical outlet, fairly high off the floor which I used for easily plugging in the vacuum when cleaning..
  8. Hi Everyone. It's been awhile since I've popped in here to share anything, but I've been working on my studio to update it with better lighting and a ceiling and cleaner look. There were many times I searched the forum on ideas for lighting. My situation is that I'm in a basement with no windows and low ceilings. Thank you for all your help. Loaded with ideas about fluorescent tube lighting, Deloa's lighting system, track lighting, pot lights, etc., I finally decided on pot lights that could be set in between the rafters, thus allowing the drop ceiling to remain as high as possible. We put lots of pot lights in - 29 to be exact. There are 4 BR30's in the main part of the room and 4 above the table providing good all over light. Then there is a row of 4 GU10's on either side of the table pointing towards the table. The row of pot lights above the table and the 2 rows of GU10's on either side are on their own sets of dimmer switches (3 dimmer switches - one for each row) allowing me to control where the light is coming from depending on which side of the table I'm working at and what type of quilting I'm doing. I'm working on my first quilt with the new set up today! You can see the pictures of the progress of my studio from 2005 to current here.
  9. Oma, what a fabulous space! I like organizing my stuff too and love what you've done, especially your labelling. I'm off to buy a silver sharpie! I also love the table for your Studio (I want one!). Where did you get it?
  10. Truthfully, he did have me going for awhile! I know lots of quilters (not LA'ers) that never change their needle on the DSM. Then they wonder why they have problems!
