Read what previous students have said about our eClasses:

“Wonderful class for newbies and seasoned quilters. I’ve been longarm quilting 4 years and was getting in a rut of quilting the same thing over and over. This class got the creative juices flowing and I can think about little else beside going home to quilt all these new designs!!
This was a wonderful class and I put it at the top of my list as the best longarm class I have had. I’ve taken classes at the APQS showroom, MQS, Innovations and online. This one was hands down the best.” – Debbi

If you want to add Photoshop skills to your art making arsenal, I highly recommend Deb and Kris’s class. As quilters themselves, they focus the course on applications we can really use and understand. Their presentations are witty and fresh with follow-along examples to download so you have plenty of hands-on practice at your own pace. The Pixeladies have really opened up the endless possibilities of Photoshop Elements for me, and I can at last scratch something off my list!

“Carla, I just wanted to say thanks again for all that I have learned through this class. I have learned so much more than just quilting design—so many tips and ways to PPP or visualize what is in my head and how to approach the business end of it. And the tablet—woohoo! Most importantly, I have gained confidence. Thanks.” -Mel

“Carla’s class was great! And her interaction with the students was wonderful. Did you sit in front of your computer the entire 3 weeks, Carla? You are an excellent instructor and I am looking forward to having more classes with you.” – Helia

Deb & Kris,(and Carla, in the background) Thank you for being such
great teachers! You have such well laid out worksheets with very
reasonable expectations for homework. Your explanations to our many
questions and the help that you have been able to provide have been
clear and concise. I participate in a few groups that also offer
Webinars as a teaching method, your presentations were among the best!!
There that’s your report card from me… and now for my report card… I
started this course not knowing which end was up in PSE… I have amazed
myself at how much I’ve learned in such a short time! Now it is over to
me…P.P.P Play, Play, Play… Oh, and I’ll be back for more courses…
Thanks!! Jan

I realized I never posted images for Doug’s 2 quilts I quilted recently. I will start with the Group quilt, which had Doug (High Sierra Quilt Store) to piece it, Bobbie Jarrett to applique some wonderful cattails on the quilt, I quilted it, and Lyn Baker is binding the quilt.

Here is the finished quilt laying on dining room table:

This quilt has wonderful texture quilting, and I have purposely added dimension to the cattails so they poof up nicely. This quilt has a duck hunting theme, so look carefully for the duck hunter, and lots of ducks flying away in the quilting. Here is the back of the quilt:

My favorite part of this quilt is the borders and cornerstone design:

The circle duck design I created to match the border design. I took motifs from the border design, separated them, then created 2 circles to contain the arrangement. The piano keys were done by hand using my Fine LIne Ruler. The border design was purchased from Digitech Patterns here. Denise Schillinger designed the duck border- which is actually a loon, but figured no one would know the difference. LOL

Doug was very happy with my quilting, and I liked how the textural the quilting made the cattails poof out dimensionally. It will be entered into a local County Fair next month.

Doug also creates retro teardrop trailers completely by hand. He is a true artisan with his trailers- and is currently almost finished with his latest trailer. Every trailer he makes, I quilt him a quilt which matches. Here is a modern quilt with some retro quilting. I actually used a design found here for the borders. Once again, the border design is one by Denise Schillinger.

The design shown above is perfect for this modern quilt. The density of the quilting will be great for the intended use- as a decorative bed quilt in the trailer. Doug also used this fabric line to make curtains, too.

Hope you have enjoyed this preview! Stay tuned for a really interesting quilt which I am working on now. Hugs, Carla

PS: I just realized that this post is my 1,000 post I have written since I moved my blog to WordPress. WordPress stats also tells me that I have had almost 1.6 million visitors to my blog since I moved the blog here! Thanks for your visits and support!
