We would all like to see our members who do longarm quilting (close-up please) with all the particulars. It would be nice to see all of your examples on one thread. Thanks

Quilted on Tin Lizzie w/Shirley II Computer version.

'LUV that design - thanks!

tin lizzie. totally free motion. i chose not to use the stitch regulator. this was the first thing i did when i got the machine.

Beautiful work! Love the cabin in the woods design! Very unique!

Wow!!! You must have been practicing for a long time that is awesome!!

WOW!!! The cabin in the woods is awesome!!

A couple of customer quilts I have done on my Nolting Pro recently.

Beautiful!!!!!!

do you use a program or a panto?

I use a panto. My machine is hand guided, no computer.

Thanks for starting this thread. As a brand new longarmer I love to see this stuff and what people are doing. I have not yet done a quilt, I still have my practice sandwich on. Only got the machine 3 weeks ago but it has been too hot to practice and now that the heat wave has broke I have been in piecing mode getting a top ready to throw on there.

I have been trying all morning (or so it seems) to post a picture of a customer's quilt that I quilted this week. I'm on dial up and it takes sooooooo long that my computer kicks out before the picture gets posted. I quilt on a hand guilded Gammill Classic - no stitch regulator, no computer, no bells nor whistles. Just me and my trigger finger. Most of my customers request custom or heirloom quilting but I do like to quilt a pantograph pattern every so often. I invite you to look at photos of quilts I have quilted on my webshots at http:/community.webshots.com/user/barbara4811.

Very nice!!

Looks to me that you are having a lot of fun!!!!

Very Pretty! Did you stitch the plume freehanded?

I will try to post a picture after I get home from work

No, that is a panto called Royal Plume. I just love the way it quilts out. It is my most requested panto right now.

APQS Millennium, hand guided.

A few more.

so, i will try to show the picture that actually shows the quilting... :-D

CJ I love your quilting and the last quilt is my favorite

Thank you Lynn, I made that last one to hang in my hubby's office.

here's a closeup of the back of the 1st customer quilt I did a couple of weeks ago. And a couple of closeups of the front of the 2nd customer quilt I completed yesterday. All done with rulers or freehand.

Can I ask what everyone charges?? Is that allowed? So far, I haven't seen one example I didn't like - thank you soooooo much for sharing your talents.

I have a downloadable brochure here:

Here are a few customer quilts I've done; hope they show the quilting ok :lol:

Wow ladies you have done some outstanding work. Keep it up it really is awesome. K

I love that quilting design!!! :shock:

Is that a quilt you made in your avitar pic? If so, please post a pic of it! It looks stunning!! :wink:

Oh it's sooooo hard to just choose 3 quilts to show! My clients sew such beautiful tops and I have the honor of finishing them. I would love to show you all of them. It's like having a revolving art exhibit right here in my workroom. I feel blessed and lucky to be able to get paid for work that I truly love.

These 3 client quilts were all custom quilted with hand guided quilting, not pantos or computerized. My feeling is that the quilting needs to go with the quilt to make a nicely balanced finished product. I offer different quilting options and my client chooses which she wants on her quilt. It's a collaborative process.

More photographs and my prices are on my website www.northstarqualityquilting.com.

I'm enjoying all the quilting. Keep it up. I'm working on a quilt for my son that I think I'll be sending out to be quilted as it will be queen size. I've done all my own quilting on my DSM, but this quilt is special and I want it to be quilted very nicely.

my wholecloth quilt

This log cabin quilting is so very beautiful and creative. I am beginning to think I will never get the hang of quilting. I am all thumbs with FMQ, and even stencil quilting is somehow unmanageable for me.

Very Nice, thanks for the close ups

Here are a couple I did ..I seem to like the freemotion better than anything. The 1st two are on an Eleanor Burn's Egg Money quilt and the last looks like wrapped candies (I have THAT on my quilting Bucket list!)

I'm so jealous, I could spit!

Just BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for posting!

Some beautiful quilting here, thank you for starting this thread!

:thumbup: :D

My machine is very old , hand quided and after all these years I cannot do the fancy quilting.
