Bell Star is just a baby. This award-winning quilt from Gammill longarm artist, Jo Ann Blade & Kim Diamond, is only three months old and has already won the Judge's Award at the Machine Quilter's Showcase (MQS) and 2nd Place Duet at the Association of Pacific West Quilters (APWQ) (One of Jo Ann's other quilts, American Woman, designed by Kim Diamond, also took 2nd Place Innovative Traditional Large at APWQ). Bell Star and American Woman were both created completely on a Gammill-Statler machine...applique, borders, and quilting. Jo Ann travels and teaches Applique the Statler Way.
You might want to catch her class. Or, Look for patterns from Jo Ann & Kim's new company, "Mom's Legacy Quilt Company" for patterns designed for appliqué using your longarm.
