yankiequilter Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 This is a beautiful 44" square hand-dyed batik panel from Timeless Treasures. I enhanced the designs from the fabric and used the Heartz template for the center motif, the Diamondz for the corner motif, and the Stella template was used on the sides.

yankiequilter Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks, Kath! I'm having so much fun with my Circle Lord and templates, and I learn more about using them each time I quilt with them. I sent you a u2u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaA Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 The quilt Joy posted is a Thimbleberries BOM from several years ago. It can also be found in Thimbleberries Big Book of Quilt Blocks. In the book it is called Thimbleberries Village. Pamela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Joy I did that same quilt it was a Thimbleberries block of the month. Big block houses or something like that. Cant remember the exact name. I remember there was so much fabric in each block left over that when I had finished it for my FIL for a queen sized bed I made a throw for my MIL for the couch with all the left overs. Just remembering that was my first quilt that I ever quilted on a LA. My friend had just bought a used Ultimate II and I did a pantgraph with a meandering then every so often there was an apple. I had the hardest time getting those apples rounded and the tension was kind of flat on the back in some places. I was thrilled though and so was my FIL.

Georgene Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 This is a customer quilt, lap size, with an appliqued turtle. The customer chose the Circle Lord 7 Treasures giant template because it reminded her of a turtle's back. She made this quilt for a couple who actually rescue turtles on beaches to save them from harm. The pattern was from a magazine, but I'm not sure which one.

luv2learn Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I can't imagine having to judge these quilts. They are all so FANTASTIC!!! All of you are so amazingly talented. :) Brenda in Fla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Brenda, For many of us, it's not so much about the talent, as it is about the tool (CL). However, there are a few who truly step it up to the next level and use their CL "tool" creatively and uniquely!! Their thinking out of the box, is quite inspirational. And yes, it is going to be tough to choose the "best of the best"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circlelord Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Quilt by Donna James I am pleased that this is a stash busting project -ALL the fabric came from my stash. I used EQ6 for this simple design, and then my Wacom tablet to draw the diagonal stitching lines before I decided where the circle/spirals would go. The quilt is 55" x 70". I used the Circle Lord 12" sqircle to make the circles, and then switched to the spirals template to fill it in each time. The circles range in size from 2" to 8", and there are more than 60 of them. I am spiraled out, for now!" (Sorry Donna for forgetting your name and taking credit for this beautiful quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njquiltergirl Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Georgene, you have certainly mastered the CL! Your quilts are wonderful, as are so many posted here. I now have a growing wish list for the CL templates and boards. I am interested in the 7 Treasures. I noticed the circles do not really meet or overlap. As in a more traditional wine-glasses hand quilting pattern. Is that typical of the boards or a lining-up thing? The Turtle quilt is really delightful! Great job on them all.

njquiltergirl Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Michael, that black checkerboard quit is terrific! Did YOU make it?? Love the custom quilting and the colors. Lisa APQS Liberty NW NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Lisa, If you'll look at this closeup of the template, you'll see just how close the lines are. Some touch, other lines almost touch. http://bp0.blogger.com/_bVeSEi55KyA/SFHkshBT_xI/AAAAAAAAAmk/DSPIwNeDkX4/s1600-h/7+Treasures+of+Buddha+Template.jpg And some of it, in the turtle quilt, could be a lining up thing.....my bad.

circlelord Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Here is a entry quilted by Carol Cunningham. She used the CL Push Button system from the front of the machine. It took her about 10 hours to do. About 10000 square inches. Most of the time was outline stitching the teddy bears, and Mctavishing. The crosshatching is 1" apart. "War and Pieces" a Civil War Reproduction Sampler. It is designed by Barbara Brackman, author of "Quilts from the Civil War" and Karla Carney Menaugh, and was published by the Sunflower Pattern Co-operative.

Georgene Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 This is a customer (Deb G) quilt, twin size, using beautiful Asian fabrics -- she works in a quilt shop. Deb wanted an all over design, and the Circle Lord Clam Shells seemed to be the perfect fit -- reminiscent of Asian fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchamberlain1 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Here's my entry for the CL challenge. I used the large CL crosshatch templates and the pushbutton system. I skipped over all of the embroidery so there were thousands of stops and starts. I used wool batting and So Fine and Bottom Line threads. It took me about 7 or 8 weeks to complete because I work full time outside the house. Customer was thrilled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
