ramona-quilter Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 In San Diego, there is quilt shop named Rosie's Calico Cupboard. The last I heard, she had over 19,000 bolts of fabric. http://www.rosiescalicocupboard.com/ (The web-site needs some work). Rosie is involved in lots of good works. One of those is Camp Reach for The Sky (CR4TS). It is a camp for about 300 kids ages 4 - 18 who are fighting the battle with cancer. Each kid gets a quilt. People donate quilt tops, Rosie donates the batting and she enlists longarmers to quilt them for CR4TS. This is the first one. It has some cool fabrics of a square in a square pattern. I used the Circle Lord to do 2 rows of square spirals and then set off a space in the center to try a design with curves, circles and cross-hatching. It was fun and great experience.

jeanros Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Linda, What a wonderful job done and for such a good cause. What cross hatch did you have, the 13" or the 18 "? I have been thinking about getting one but I was wondering which one I would use more? Great quilting. Jean Millennium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Sunimp, Yes, the Cross-hatch was also done with the Circle Lord. Jean, I used the big cross-hatch template, must be 18". The curves (bowl) are from the Aztec template. The design is right in the Aztec book. The circles are from the 4" sqircle. I used the square spiirals on two outside rows all the way around. Borders are from one of Anne Brights designs that I got from Perfect Borders as seen at innovations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
