Hi,

Glad we are getting close to the 300 target !!!

So I am posting my latest quilt, which I used the circle lord basic circles in the border, which I used to quilt half circles overlapping, and a little swirl in the corner stones. Although the rest is practice freehand.

My 5th grade teacher from many years ago found these Jacob's Ladder blocks that her mother had made in the 50's. She asked me to make them into a quilt for her. When I had it together, I posted here for quilting suggestions; but she did know what she wanted when she saw a feather wreath I had done with my 'new Circle Lord template'! She wanted one in each block. It was easy to center and do all 42 of them! The "loopy hearts" worked for her in the sashings because she loved seeing the fabrics from many of her family members together in the quilt. She wanted blue thread on the white backing so the design would show! (Does that take nerve?!!!:o )

This is the first quilt I've completed using my new Circle Lord. I used the "Swirls" template boards . Like every one has said at one time or another---It easy and fun!

Approx. 68" x 72"

This quilt is an adaptation of a pattern that I found on the internet by Cyndi Walker and it is called Flowr Patch. I used a Moda Layer Cake fabric pack called Gypsy Rose and added the tan fabric as accent and borders. The quilt measures 52" x 52". For the quilting I used the Featherz and Micro Featherz templates, the large Crosshatch template, wavy line from the Rope templates, the Cable templates, and the fish border from the Clam Shell templates, with free motion fill along the outside border and around the cable. With the exception of the long templates all of the quilting was done using the CL Front System.

This quilt is 44" x 44" and is made from a hand dyed batik panel. I named it "Argyle Illusion" because the curved crosshatching along with the colors of the fabric and Rainbow thread remind me of argyle. In addition to the basic Circle Lord I used the Curved Crosshatching template, Ginko, Aztec and Diamondz templates. The quilting was done using the CL Front System.

Hawaii Barbara, I love your chenille applique with the Sunburst template! It is a great example of quilting outside of the box. Or in this case, quilting outside of the template! :D What a wonderful way to show the versatility of the CL and templates. :)

Angie, great job with the Swirls! And on fleece, too! A wonderful way to use the CL to stitch up a quick gift So glad for you that you were able to get a CL! :)

The body of this quilt is made up of Ohio Star blocks with sashing and borders to make the quilt 92" x 104". Most of the fabrics are from the Windsor Rose line by Fabri-Quilt and I used the Trillium template for overall quilting. It takes four passes to complete the design, with two different paths. I found the template and paths easy to follow and resulting design very pretty.

This is one I did from scratch for a customer's daughter. I added the sashing and stabilized the T-shirts.

Thanks to directions from my friend on the Forum, Sylvia; it turned out great!

The same lady gave me 2 more to do!! Yippee! T-shirt quilts are not my favorite thing to do, but bring a lot of $$ and the Circle Lord makes it go soooo fast!
