Quilting Heidi Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi all, I wanted to post a special note under the Quiltazoid section so that you all could easily find some design ideas. I used my quiltazoid to do the piano key border, circles and motifs. the design motifs were stitched and then embellished with feathered blooms. I love my spirograph! all the designs stitched out exactly the same and it was so much fun!!!! border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjtinkle Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 All I can say is, WOW! That is just stunning Heidi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 how clever. i never would have figured out that you used the spiro for that cuz of all the embellishing but that is why it came out so symmetrical....& i do reallu like the curved ch - glad i got that template. and tell me, what do you use for piano keys? is it the cross hatch template? never thought of that...maybe i should read the directions, huh? i have been using a ruler and i hate it! not to mention i have hit the darn ruler with the needle twice - hasnt broken anything..YET.

lindasewsit Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 How did you do those intertwining feathers? I LOVE IT!!! The whole quilt is STUNNING!! GREAT work, GIRL!! linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Beautiful !!!! I can't wait to get one. Social Security checks start coming in June...........maybe I know what MINE will be used for ???? DH said we would just drive up to Ellsworth one of these days and have a look and get one ! Wheeeeee. Sounds like this new Bliss upgrade could be a headache for QZ, and others to manufacture products to work with it. I don't plan to get Bliss, so hope QZ will still make models for the "non-upgraded" machines. My machine works so smooth now that if it moved any easier I think I would throw it right off the rails ! haha I LOVE the channel locks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Heidi, thank you so much for sharing how you used your QZ in your designing of this quilt. It's so inspiring for me and I love all the ideas you share with us. Have you ever thought of putting on a class using the QZ? I don't know if we could do that here, but it would be such a bonus for so many of us. Something to think about? Quilt on! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Beautiful Heidi. You took the QZ out of the box by adding your freehand to it! It is really very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thanks everybody! That design actually stitches out so quickly and is so perfect. Just love it. Yes I did the border using the crosshatching board! I'd be lost without that thing and I love that I don't have to use rulers!!!! Easy peasy as our Shana would say. Linda - the Intertwining feathers were done freehand. Rennae Haddidin teaches how to do it on her DVD and using her amazing rays to separate out the sections. I just love doing them!!!!

Quilting Heidi Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks Rita. I'm home and am just having a relaxing night. I toyed with the idea of going down and loading a quilt but I think I'll just take the time off! I still have to finish unpacking but I'm tired. Charlotte and I finished up our trip with my SIL & BIL and had the best night and morning. Now back to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blair8904 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Heidi, if I wasn't convinced after see the QZ in action, this amazing work would have done it! It was delightful to meet you at MQX. Enjoy your evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Heidi - your design is gorgeous. I have a question. You've mentioned using the QZ crosshatch template. I see the rectangular crosshatch template on the QZ website. I'm wondering how the stitching path works, when you are crosshatching an odd-shaped section -- do you remove the stylus from the template to piggyback over to the next section? I am expecting the standard QZ to arrive this week -- yeah! But am looking ahead to perhaps the spirograph and crosshatch template. Thanks!
