A few weeks ago I went to Victoria with another longarm quilter to take a class with Kathleen of Kathleen Quilts!
Kathleen is amazing and a terrific teacher! The class was for domestic machine quilters, but she was nice enough to let us take it with only our sketchbooks. The best part of this was that while others were sewing, we were getting more options for the designs. It was a great day and a great class.
Kathleen showed us quilting done with these two great stencils by Jodi Robinson--which I immediately had to have! This one has so many options with these circles.
And this one--the design potential is just unlimited!
This is what my top looked like with after marking with the above stencil. I had to put directional lines and "x"s in the blocks so I could keep track of where to sew!!
If you'd like to purchase the stencils, or any of the other wonderful aids on Jodi's site, click HERE
This is my finished sample. As you can see, I must have gotten a little too involved listening to "Outlander" while I was quilting. Can you spot my mistakes????
Remember, if you click on the pic, you get a larger view.

I absolutely refuse to spend any time looking for mistakes in your work! Thank you for sharing your work, and being brave about posting a photo of something you are practicing on, Haven't used stencils in this way, but will soon.
