Very Cool Halloween Quilting and Bag

Is that not a cool long arm design? I figured that the best way to show people the design was to have used it. And the quickest project was to simply have a yard of fabric quilted and then made into a bag. We had a Halloween block of the month earlier this year and I'm sure that this will be the pattern chosen for quiliting many of those finished projects.

Yes, it's lovely, Joan. Great idea to make the bag, having quilted the fabric. . In message , joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska writes

I'm not sure about the beginning and ending either. It's a computer- operated machine, so it's a software program. No human interaction involved, fortunately. :>

Not sure if this helps, but...

If you look at the first picture, at the bottom left full web, you can see that from the left (just after 9 o'clock), the patterns goes into the "round" part of the web. It then circles about 1.5 times, going inwards, and then starts the spoke part of the web, before exiting around 5 o'clock.

Of course, there is some variation between the webs shown in that image.

Clear as mud???

Hanne > You're right, very cool, but I'm having trouble seeing where to start

Smile! I had the same problem, Roberta. I thought I'd just draw a random web - as shown - and work out how to do it when I had time! I think it could be used un-scarily? . In message , Roberta writes

Way cool, Joan! I know some little goblin will enjoy this for a Trick or Treat bag. It is moderately spooky and looks sturdy enough to collect lots of goodies. PAT

Yesterday some friends and I were piecing a fern theme quilt. While selecting the (long arm) quilting design, we wanted a motif that may be found in a garden. We even talked about using a spider web, but ended up with a very airy dragon fly design. The main reason was that it would be the least intrusive design over the fern blocks. PAT in HOT Virginia

Hi Pat, How did you like the fabrics for the "fern" quilt? Our "mutual" friend bought them when she came to visit me! I loved them.....even better than the original choices. I also love the dragon fly all-over design quilting. I hope we get to see photos of the finished quilt!

Alice: The fabric is just delightful! I know you had a role in the choice, and I thank you. As to a photo, we've decided that there will be no photos circulated until after it is presented to the ultimate owner. (But maybe T will take it to Celebration!?) The rest of you can just wonder .... that quilt is under wraps for the next

10 months or so! Grins, PAT
