Quilting Heidi Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Darlene - do these designs come in embroidery machine formats? I have a Viking Diamond that I really need to get aquainted with still but if I could do all the SID on the longarm and then plug it in that would be a good way to justify my embroidery machine!

DoryJM Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Darlene, that is so pretty. Your granddaughter will be thrilled! I'm not sure which side I like better either; the back is gorgeous with all that stitching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Heidi, I don't have the software to do the conversions for embroidery format, but Jessica Schick can do them. I have this pattern on her website, and if you contact her, I'm sure she'd do the embroidery formats for you. www.digitechpatterns.com Dory, I think my 4 granddaughters will be fighting over it. Not to worry, I have 9 more 30's tops to quilt, and more in the making. I LOVE these fabrics! Never get bored with them like I do with most others. Batiks are my second favorite.

AnnHenry Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Oh, such joy to gaze upon the work of a master. ((How come it doesn't sound the same if I say "mistress"? )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi Ann, I think CQ is the "master" here. I'm just CQ's mistress! I do think my pattern turned out pretty good tho'. They sure look better stitched up than they do on paper or the computer! Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just beautiful Darlene!! Your precision astounds me. You have a beautiful digitized design to start with of course--I love your designs! But then your piecing is perfection and the placement of the designs as well. It all came together and is stunning!

digisuz Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Beautiful Darlene! I LOVE your Romance Block # 1 design. The fabrics are cheerful, the piecing and placement of designs is precise, and the digitizing is expert. Your steady devotion to SID to stabilize and set off the blocks really makes a difference too. It’s always a great joy to see your work. You are an inspiration to all quilters. Thank you for sharing. Warm Regards, Suzanne Moreno, Designer, Digitizing Instructor digisuz@charter.net 541.244.1146 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Ooooooh LA LA Darlene! I LOVE the reproduction fabrics, both the civil war and the 30's. You really made this quilt !!!!! I LOVE the yellow thread you used, and what it did to the back of the quilt! Just totally awsome Darlene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene Epp Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Wow! Thank you so much everyone! Suzanne is the "master" that taught me to digitize, so I thank her everytime I start to work on another pattern. Rona, in the first picture, the quilt isn't yet attached to the zippers. I always sew the backing & top to the zippers with my machine's longest stitch. Pins within 3 feet of me manage to find a way to poke me, so I avoid them whenever possible! For those of you "on the fence", jump off! I quilted a huge king size quilt yesterday and while it stitched, I made lunch, played with 4 year old Kiana, sewed blocks together for another quilt, did some laundry, answered e-mails, made and answered numerous phone calls, and sewed zippers to another quilt top and backing so it was ready to go on the machine when the other one came off. I set my timer for about 3 minutes less than CQ says it will take to stitch the row. I got a lot done during the 23 minute rows yesterday. The next one is ready to go on the machine and then Kiana "needs" to play again. I only leave the machine if I'm working on a quilt without "Issues". If there's some extra fullness on top, or very heavy seam intersections, I stay right at the machine and "manipulate" the fabric as the machine stitches those areas. I may sit at the machine and hand stitch some binding, or play with other patterns in my laptop, where I have the demo CQ loaded. I love that I can have the program installed on more than one computer and it's not unavailable when the machine is stitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
