L is for Lantern

As a finish this post, I am in a hotel in Houston after two long days on the road.  I set up my booth for International Quilt Market tomorrow.  If you are going to market, please visit me at booth 2014.  Also, I would love to see you at my School House presentation on Friday at 11:00 in Room 351C.  My topic is "Delivering a Profitable Electric Quilt Club".  I hope to see you in person.

I struggled a bit with the alliteration on this block's title.  I knew I needed an L and I really wanted a pumpkin.  Sonja (my pumpkin fanatic friend), reminded me that pumpkins become jack-o-lanterns on Halloween.  So a title was born.

This video tutorial on using EQ Stitch expands on using the applique drawing tools in EQ7 and EQ Stitch.  And then on using the Stitch features.  I am continuing my personal exploration of the stitch features -- in particular creating the layering I wanted in the pumpkin.

Here is my finished block.

Here is a pdf of the block that you may use for tracing or for creating the block in applique.
