Monday Mash-up

Alrighty then - let's get to it!  Lots more busy work to show-off.  First, finished up those Quilts of Valor Hearth & Home blocks, got them embroidered and they are out for delivery in California as I write:

26 QOV Hearth & Home Blocks embroidered & shipped!
If you'd like to join us in this endeavor, Please follow this link to capture the Hearth & Home Block Drive quilt pattern which includes submission instructions:  http://www.qovf.org/Pdf_Files/HearthHome_BlockPatternB.pdf  It's also available on the http://www.qovf.org home page...Thank YOU!

Finished quilting the very First Clark County 4-H Quilt of Valor created by 4-Her Phillip:

 Loaded Clark County 4-H QOV quilt #2 on the frame and started quilting Anna's Quilt of Valor:

Anna's QOV getting it's gorgeous blue borders McTavished ;-)
I'm quilting Anna's Quilt of Valor in Superior's So Fine #50 in Hot Chillies #412, including in the bobbin for the blue back, and it is quilting out amazing!  The borders are getting McTavished, no surprise there, and the panto comes from UrbanElementz - Star Dance.  UrbanElementz.com has some amazing pantos - typically, I purchase their 'digital' version 'cause I'm usually in a hurry, it's 1:00 am and I don't have time to wait for a snail mail shipment.

Also, I have the luxury of taking any digital panto, importing it into QuiltCad as a .DXF or .HQF file, saving in QuiltCad's native format .GPF, then using it to design single quilting motifs I can use from the front of 'Miss Betty' w/laser, or my favorite, ANY size of pantograph from the back.  I printed this one out as a 10", and while it may take a little time to tape the printer paper together, it's sooo worth it, since I can use these pantos over and over!

                                            Isn't the back panto quilting neat in Red?
