Karen Humphrey This month I worked on the T-shirt and Panel Quilts classes. I chose to use a panel I purchased in 2018 - Thomas Kincade churches by Bernatex. There are so many options and ways to do a panel that it was fun to play around with. One thing I have learned from designing quilts with fabrics from my personal stash is that I wish I had downloaded the fabric swatches at the time of purchase, because years later they are harder to find if not impossible. Now if I purchase fabric, the first thing I do beside washing it, is download the fabric swatches.

Pat Harkins Working on this lone star quilt design inspired by a Jinny Beyer pattern. I used layer one and two to place blocks and neutral color for place holder “blocks”, polydraw, appliqué, adding fabric. To name a few. I have red and blue ombre fabric. I am working on the best way to cut and piece the blocks. It will be queen sized.

Lynne Maramieri This past month I created this quilt from the Introduction to Applique lessons.

Carol Kendra Really enjoyed taking the Easy Draw and Kaleidoscope classes this month. Did a lot of things I didn't know I could do with EQ. Feel much more comfortable using some more of the tools that are in the program.

Julie Pedersen This month I took the Masters Label class. I couldn't decide which label I liked more so here are the 2 I like best.

Moira Hewitt I did optical illusion quilts, really enjoyed the cubes.

Kristy Goodin Soard I applied what I learned in the Masters Label classes to my labels for my Remember Me Always quilt (#3 in a series). I am looking forward to printing them and then being able to bind the quilt.

Kristy Goodin Soard The second label. The blocks used in both labels are represented on the quilt front.

Zdenka Nemethova I took Bargello lessons and really enjoyed them. For the first time I can try Custom Set Quilt and it was fun

Patricia Hansen This month I took the bargello class and came up with this variation. Not my usual colors for sure! But I did enjoy designing this one.
Picture
Mary Groesbeck I just finished Modern Quilts 2. As always, I learned so much. My favorite for the month is this one, because it's got me thinking about all that empty space for quilting. It seems like most of my quilts lately have been three fabrics. This one has more, with the two "whites" providing a background but the two of the together adding a little bit of a shadow look. I designed it so that I did not need more than one yard of each fabric, since I only have a yard of each.

Edith Craig In August, I took Introduction to Applique. We adapted several blocks from a historic quilt and made them into blocks for a new quilt. I took inspiration from this and adapted 2 additional blocks from the historic quilt. These I placed in a quilt on-point and added one of the borders that we drafted in class. I learned how to look at existing blocks to determine how to draft them in a new way for applique and the many variations the EQ provides.
Picture
Candy H. Here is my challenge quilt from Class 1 Working with Fabrics. I've sent two versions...one with just "colors" and the other is converting those colors into fabrics. How cool! That aspect was pretty impressive, but probably the best part of all the classes was learning how to import fabrics from manufacturer's websites and creating custom fabric libraries.

Linda Carlson I took the Master's Label class. This was created after I sent the quilt to David and Kathy. He passed away September 7th. First photo is the label, and second photo is the quilt where I wrote a message on the backing instead of making a label.

I like your label tips. I need to get a new label. I'll have to consider getting some marketing design help.
