Bonnie H Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm searching for more big open flower pantos like "Dainty" by Willowleaf Studio. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hi Bonnie, Take a look at Lorien Designs by Hermione Agee of Australia. You can find them State side here: http://www.urbanelementz.com/shop/category/quilting-designs-by-designer/lorien-quilting/ When I went computerized, I ordered many of Hermi's patterns in digital format because they're so evenly spaced and give good allover texture. Another good site is Anne Bright's. She has many pages of designs! http://www.annebright.com/shop/category/store/paper-pantographs/ Hope that helps.

Bonnie H Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hi Darlene, I have looked at those sites and so many others. I have over 100 pantos but so many are pretty dense for what my customers really like. I was hoping that someone had a floral in mind that they use that is more open that they could recommend. I've done "Dainty" so many times that I need a break from the monotony! LOL Thank you for posting links for me I do love Urban Elementz, Willowleaf and Lorien! I'm still looking for suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherH Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hi Bonnie, I have the Circle Lord long boards for "Cosmos" my clients love it and it is quick and easy. The pattern is pretty open but gives great allover texture. CL is not a panto but well worth the investment. Happy quilting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltinchicks Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Bonnie, I have been looking for more open designs too. I can only do dainty, chantilly lace and popcorn so many times!! I do wish there was more of a selection of floral or scroll type pantos that are "open & light" and not so dense!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I use one called "Blossom" that is airy and light. I charge less for it because it goes so quickly. Morning GLory is also open and I charge less for it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 "Alfresco" is open and easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yes, I use Alfresco, too. I forgot about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulene Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Kashmir, Lorien Quilting. 8" row X 2 rows. Pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in Ames Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Anne Bright has a lot of great patterns that are open. Merrily is one of my favorites from her. I also really like Simply Clematis from her as well. Plus I met her in person and she is really nice. Bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Anne Bright is a very nice lady, met her at MQX last October, she has a booth there with lots and lots of patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Have you tried Golden Threads? They might have a floral panto you want. Manybe Petaluma would do what you want. It is by Meredith England. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thank you, ladies, for the ideas! I have "Alfresco" but haven't used it yet ... not sure why no one has picked it as it is really cute and I imagine looks great quilted out. I have added all the suggestions to my list and am trying to narrow it down to just two, but that is so hard to do!! I am giving myself until next week to make a decision. Heather, funny you should mention "Cosmos" from CL. I have it but have only used it once I was thinking of selling it to get some more room in my CL storage area. I finished the large quilt with Dainty today and I'm taking it off my panto list for a while as I'm on major burn out!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Anne Bright has a lot of great patterns that are open. Merrily is one of my favorites from her. I also really like Simply Clematis from her as well. Plus I met her in person and she is really nice. Bonus! Amy, at your recommendation, I ordered both of these pantos (Merrily in 14" and Clematis in 12") and love them both! I'm taking "Dainty" out of my lineup as Merrily is so much nicer. But if a client wants Merrily for a small quilt, I may reluctantly suggest "Dainty." Thank you so much for telling me of these pantos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
