"All of the”frame” designs are being done with various Circle Lord templates. I haven’t decided yet what I’ll do for background fills…got to get the main designs done first. Here’s a peek of the very early stages of quilting."

"I worked on the class mini quilts again today. The main motifs are all done now. Just the background fill is left to do…though that will take a while. Here are the rest of the designs. Again, the frames are done with various Circle Lord templates and some of the motifs too,and some I embellished. Lots of variety for my students to choose from."

"Today I worked on doing the background fill between thunderstorms. All of these little quiltlets really showcase the versatility of the Circle Lord system. I think my students will be happy with these! I know I am."

Classical Clamshell Beauty

Hi,
Here are two quilts with an Japanese theme. What is better to quilt them with, but
the Japanese Sachiko clamshell pattern. It is a wonderful pattern for lots of styles, and is fast to do.



Maria Hilts, of Guelph, Ontario pieced these quilt to be auction off for an AIDs charity. Maria and our own Kay quilted them.

APQS Lenni Circle Lord

Circle Lord on APQS Lenni

Circle Lord on table of Lenni with 12 inch circle template
Concentric circles 1/16th" apart

The Lenni Circle Lord is similar to the HQ16 CL that has been used since 2005. It fits between the Lenni rails. There is no extra work to do with the table. You have about 14 inches of quilting. This works well with the 12 inch template size. You can center exactly without having to fudge the fabric.

Stylus centered on Aztec Template

When the stylus is in the center post, as above, you an unlock the Red Handled clamp and drag the Circle Lord to the sewing point. If you have the Center Clamp released, you can place your needle exactly on the center point of you patttern. The Center Finder, supplied with the Circle Lord, helps you find the center of most blocks.

Close up of Stylus Set

The stylus is stainless steel with a hard tip. It slides up and down in a nylon bushing.
When you don't want it "in the groove", just lift and turn, and a pin holds it above the the table.

Curved Crosshatching by Shelley Carmichael

Hi,
Here is a quilt by Shelley Carmichael of Dodge City, Kansas.

"I just finished this for one of my favorite customers. When she gave it to me she didn't want the normal background fills (Xhatching, McTav, stippling, ect.) So I racked my brain. And this is what I came up with. I used the circle lord curved crosshatching for all but one and then I used Ranae's Amazing Arc's for that one. Which I thought would look out of place. But my customer loves it

Thanks for looking
Shelley"

You can leave any comments for Shelley, if you wish.
Cheers,
Michael
