Christmas Rush

And last weekend I dismantled the studio and had it painted. It looks so fresh and crisp now.


We've been busy getting Christmas orders out. It seems I have been spending more time in the studio than I should be when Chai starts sleeping on my desk to get me to stop working.



A dear friend of mine brought in this gorgeous poinsettia earlier in the week. I love how it has 3 colors in it. It is really quite large and has taken a big section of my desk up but I love it.

HoHo Holly



Holly and Poinsettias



and Holly Ribbon

Homelines

Homelines is a new pantograph line by Jodi Beamish and Lisa Thiessen. THomelines patterns function just as larger ones do, but are designed with a smaller row width so they can be used with a smaller or domestic quilting machine.


Paisley Flower


Lovely

Wild At Heart

Rhonda has put it on two quilts in the past month. This first one, Charlene pieced for a wedding gift. Rhonda had the quilt on the machine when Irene brought in the second quilt she had made for her daughter. When Irene saw the pattern, she wanted it as well.



I love how the pattern echoes out.




Here is Irene's quilt.




Both quilted with lava thread.



Do you have yours yet?

Preprinted Quilting Designs by Sue Schmieden

Hello,

We have a brand new, beautiful product in stock now that we're very excited to tell you about! Sue Schmieden has come out with 6 gorgeous designs that are preprinted on 16.5" fabric. The designs come on either 100% cotton or 50% cotton / 50% bamboo. The idea is that you quilt the design along the preprinted blue lines, either on your long arm machine or a domestic sewing machine. Then you wash the project in cool water to remove the preprinted lines. Voila! You are left with a lovely quilted wholecloth.

Once completed, the quilted designs can be used as wall hangings, or you could piece several of the preprinted designs to make a larger quilt.

Please visit our website to see all of the available designs!

Happy Quilting!

Linda

Organizing Your LongArm Supplies

Hello,

When you're a LongArm Quilter it's important to keep your supplies organized and close at hand. This is the storage solution that I have found really works for me. I have four of these wonderful Alex drawer units from Ikea. They are just the right size to roll under my Millenium table and since they're on casters they're very easy to move around, if necessary.

My Alex's are filled with all of the threads I use in my LongArm quilting...

... and my pantographs.

Featuring Frances Madden

Hello,

Today we're introducing one of our LongArm Supplies Customers, Frances Madden from Alberta, Canada. We'd like to show you some of the beautiful quilting she's done using our threads and pantographs. Please note that all of the quilts shown were pieced by Frances' customers, quilted by Frances, and are being shown with their permission.

This is a Judy Niemeyer Fourth of July quilt. Frances designed the quilting and completed the quilt using Superior Lava #241 Vesuvius thread.



This next quilt is Simple Strips quilted with the Plumage pantograph using Gutterman thread.


This lovely quilt was pieced by a 12 year old girl. Frances quilted it with Superior So Fine #425 Brown Sugar. The back is minkee.



This gorgeous embroidery quilt was quilted with Superior So Fine #401 Snow. Frances drew her quilting designs from the embroidery within the quilt.



This Simple Star quilt was quilted by Frances with Lava #210 Coconut.


If you'd like to be featured on our blog, please drop us an email with photos of a few of your quilts and some details about what thread & pantographs you've used. Also, please be sure to request permission from your customers before displaying any of their quilts on the internet.

Enjoy your day!

Featuring Monika Krall

Hello,

Today we are featuring the beautiful work of Monika Krall. Monika is a very talented long arm quilter from Saskatchewan, Canada. You can read a little about her quilting and her life over at her blog, Quiltlover's News.


Here is a gorgeous quilt Monika recently finished for her customer. It is a Batik 5 Railfence Quilt made by Betty Ganie from Creative Clutter in Irma, Alberta. Monika quilted this beauty with the Cascade pantograph by Keryn Emmerson. This is one of the first pantographs that Monika purchased from us.

The thread used on this quilt was Superior Lava color #246. The result is absolutely stunning and the pictures do not do it justice!


Monika also has an etsy shop where she sells some of her lovely quilts.

If you're a customer of LongArm Supplies, we would be happy to feature some of your work here on our blog. Just send us an email with photos, list the supplies you used and tell us a bit about yourself. It's also important to get permission from your customer to post photos of their quilt online.

Happy Quilting!

Linda
