Quilting on my Loco of Lemoyne- Summer Sunshine

By
My friend Barbara Bregman, owner of Lupine Longarm Quilting, agreed to Longarm my Loco for Lemoyne Summer Sunshine.  I usually quilt my own but I've very busy making samples, writing patterns, and designing.  I've spent so much  time piecing my Loco for Lemoynes that I didn't want to rush it.

I wanted someone who would take the same care with my quilt that I took piecing it.  I know Barbara was my choice!  Since it is a shop sample (going to Pennington Quilt Works), I asked her a few weeks ago to reserve a spot for my.  I overnight-ed to her on Monday and she confirmed receipt on Tuesday.  Sent me some samples yesterday and a picture today!

Here is a sneak peak.

Barbara does such great work!

She is overnight-ing it back tonight.  I can't wait to see it.  Then, I bind it and deliver it next weekend to the shop.  Can't wait!

I'm need to put the last stitches into my Alternate Color Way and setting, then that one will make the same round trip!

The 2nd pattern we test drove at the Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor's Retreat was Deb's Tucker's Northern Neighbors.  This is another pattern she plans on having out in a few months.  It was really neat. Plus, you don't need to go with the traditional Canadian Maple Leaves if you don't want to.... several of us Certified Instructors took it in several different directions.  Here are a few examples. This is Donna's - Just to die for!  Love the batiks!  She got really far - - she doesn't talk as much of the rest of us!  LOL Here is mine, with my Kaffe Stash: And then the groups, so you can compare and see how versatile the pattern is: This pattern will use the following Studio 180 Design's tools:  Split Rects, Corner Beam, Wing Clipper, Square2....  If you don't own then, this is a great weekend to purchase them at my etsy shop.  I'm offering 15% off if you spend $20 or more.  Use code: ENDMARCH  at my shop now throug

Woo Hoo!  A little productivity this weekend.  I was able to complete the piecing of my version of Atlantic Flyways for my February Class at Yankee Quilter ( www.yankeequilter.com ).  I'm hoping to get it quilted in the evenings this week (might be a challenge) and to drop off. I'm giving a Wing Clipper demo at Yankee Quilter this Saturday.  They have Flying Geese in their Block of the Month and have asked me to come demonstrate how to use the Wing Clipper.  I hope to have the Signs of Autumn Table Runner and Atlantic Flyway completed to show. Here is Deb Tucker's original: Fingers Crossed, it is back to work tomorrow!

NEW PATTERN RELEASE I adore this month's Stashbuster Quilt, Turning Up Pumpkins .   Turning Up Pumpkins You can make this fabulous quilt with stash, scraps, or new  fabric.   The pumpkins are made with 10-11 Fat Quarters.
