I used a coloring page to make the design in the Q-Bot software. A friend wanted turtles on her quilt, so I played with the software then tested the design on a charity quilt. She liked it but stretched it out on her quilt so that the shells were not so high and rounded.

That is a beautiful quilt and the quilting is great!!! Never saw turtles in quilting before. Imaginative.

Thank you everyone. Your comments are appreciated. I still have a lot to learn, but it sure beats meandering all the time, or having to mark the design on the quilt.

Jem's Gem and Lori Sunshine--The Q-bot is a computer that attaches to the quilting machine (my sis's is a Pfaff Grandquilter) that sits on a frame. She also got the software to make your own designs; this is what I used to create the turtles. Check out mytwopals graduation quilt. She used the Q-bot as well.

That is awesome! I have heard that qbot is better than the other one. That is really sharp!!! Oh the toys! Gotta love the toys!
I love the turtle design - looks fantastic!

kd124 08-01-2009 03:00 PM

Thank you craftydeb. The q-bot definitely is a long way from stitch in the ditch or meandering.

SharonC 08-01-2009 04:10 PM

What a really great idea--to quilt in animals. I love your quilt too! Both are eye catching.

kd124 08-02-2009 01:29 PM

Thank you SharonC. I appreciate everyone's comments and support so much.

Just a minor correction....mytwopals is a HE, not a she.

:oops: Sorry, I just noticed that somewhere else.

Hopefully this year I will have more time to play with the software. The turtle is still the only one I have created on my own. Have fun.

Thank you for your comments.
