Quilts of Valor + "New" Pantos

I promised myself I would get a blog post up this week!!!  I'm so frustrated with myself for not being more on top of blogging!  BUT the good news is as long as I can work in the time to actually write the post I have lots of good stuff to share as I've been saving it all up :)

Last summer I began volunteering my longarm quilting services to Quilts of Valor.  I have been doing approximately two quilts each month.  It's been a lot of fun and has given me a chance to try out a lot of different quilting styles.  Many of the quilts I freehanded with my machine, but the two I'm going to share today show two pantographs I bought specifically to use on Quilts of Valor.

The above photo shows the pant laid out on my longarm quilting machine.  It is from Urban Elementz and can be found here ("From the Heart").  The thread I used was by Superior Threads and is from the Magnifico line (one of my favorites!).

Here's a look at the other quilt I did for this same group, but with a different pantograph.  This pantograph is also from Urban Elementz and can be found here ("Star Spangled Support").

I hope you enjoyed these AND I hope I'm back here next week! :)

Have a great weekend,

Megan
