I've been wanting to make this Carpenter's Star for a couple of years now and I finally did it. It's not difficult at all. The exciting part is............I'm getting a Gammill Longarm machine by mid next month. I'm going to have to do some practicing before I finish this quilt. Does anyone else have a longarm that might want to give me some tips?

Beautiful!! I love the colors--and the scrap first border. :D I don't have a long arm--but boy could I use one. I'm helping to pay off my quilter's though. :wink:

I have a friend who is a professional long arm quilter, and I don't think she would mind offering advice. You can get Claire's email through her website, bellaquilting.com Tell her Wendy sent you.

Good Luck!

Nice Job - looks complicated. Good luck with your longarm.

I love it! Your colors are wonderful! :) Good job! :)

Choice quilt :thumbup: Congrats on the Longarm, there'll be no holding you back now :P

I love your quilt and the fabric/colors you chose. I must make one for my son, seeing that he dabbles in carpentry. Thanks for sharing.

I just noticed that your Profile picture is the quilt that I decided (this afternoon) to post as my profile picture. I made this quilt many years ago and it has always been my favorite. I have it hanging over my TV. It was my second attempt at applique. Love your profile picture quilt and your big quilt. You did a wonderful job on both.

Beautiful! Love your colors!

Thank you Shadowdancer. I see you offering encouragement to so many all the time. You're a gem.

That is beautiful! Congratulations on your longarm! There's no stopping you now!

Beautiful fabrics and piecing! Good Job! Have fun with your new longarm, sorry can't help you with any tips but can't wait to see what you do with it :D :D :D

The quilt is beautiful!! I also like your golden. We have one too but she is much lighter as you can see in my avatar. Good job on the top, let us know how you like you long arm when you get it. Kyia

Jacque: By now you are probably an EXPERT with your new long arm quilter...I don't know anything about long arm quilting but I did want to comment on your Carpenter's quilt. Wow! It's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Have fun with the Gammill! I'd love to have one sometime.
