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!
