skrat Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Has anyone else out there played with the designs from Dawn's pajama quilter DVD? I practiced on my white board, then practiced on muslin, now have a quilt loaded and am putting the funky feathers on it. I never realized how easy it was to just fill in as you go. Not have a plan to start, just start, and enjoy those chocolates as you go. I am having a blast with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just bought the Pajama Quilting Reloaded two days ago and have been watching it as I piece a top. Wow! All sorts of ideas..... Wish I had started with the first one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmiequilts Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've done 3 borders from 'Pajama Quilter' and Myrna Fricken's 'Just Do It' ideas. I call them Flower Garden borders and the customers just love them, it's so fun and you can just dance along and make flowers and leaves and swirls and curli-q's! Thanks for the great ideas Dawn & Myrna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in Georgia Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Barbara, did you notice the "Beginners" section on the menu of the Pajama Reloaded dvd? I'm not sure, but I think it is a review of the first dvd. It is really beginner designs. I watched the first section and was thinking that it was too advanced for me, but the Beginners section brought me up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just finished watching the entire DVD, including the beginner's section and ALL the extras! Now I'm going back to re-view those sections that I really want to try on some of my current projects. And I'm bummed, because one of the patterns I want to try is only on for less than a minute, right at the end of the regular session - echoed hearts in an allover pattern. Is that on the first DVD?

barbm Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I got mine from my local Longarm Supplier, Heartbeat Quilting. They also have a website: www.heartbeatquilting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Barb, I'm going to watch the first one again to see if the heart echo is on it. Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks! After watching the second one several times (in all its pieces and parts), I used some of her motifs in an allover, mixed fill - feathers, echoed hearts, echoed loops, curls, all sorts of stuff. I really like how it turned out, but it was waaaaay more work than I expected. Had to stop a lot more often to figure out what motif I was going to use next - man, could I use a shoulder rub about now! Wish I could take a picture to show you, but I can hardly see the quilting (used Bottom Line), so I don't imagine it will show up in a photo.

KathyA Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I love her dvd and the funky feathers the most. plan on putting those on a little girls quilt next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I ran into that when I was first practicing on the white board on just the simple designs. I did manage to get the Swirl Echo Stylized Stipple to look good on muslin. I haven't tried to mix up anything. Did you get the workbook? I need to have something to copy from in front of my face. Sometimes I trace it first before I try it on the board or muslin. Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 love the quilt - will have to watch again and do some practicing. Working on pantos this week - next is the freemotion. Love the DVD but need to watch it again now that I have a bit more under my belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrat Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Coleen, No I did not get the workbook, just the DVD. Spent a couple of days watching and ppp on my white board and it is so amazing how when you go to put it on a quilt, it just flows. Kathy - you will enjoy putting these feathers on anything. I like the way that they are real open and you can sneak back down through the feathers to go a different direction. Barb = here's the back rub coming at cha. Hope that it helps. LOL Thank you all, I encourage everyone to try it, it is a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Barb, Those hearts are not in the first video. Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'll have to take a look at the workbook when I visit the Longarm store next week, see if they're in there. But the ones I did today didn't turn out tooooo bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Barb, Those hearts aren't in the workbook either, but the book is good. It helps me to have it in front of my nose when I'm practicing. Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
