UrbanElementz Essential Elements Panto Club

The more I spent time on http://www.urbanelementz.com/ , the more I realize how valuable a resource it is. Patricia Ritter has an Essential Elements Panto Club--a must-have for any machine quilter. Every month you are sent a set of pantos--borders, overall designs, setting triangles and specific blocks--for a reasonable price. Here is this month's offering:



Isn't that gorgeous? You can find sign-ups for this club at http://www.urbanelementz.com/essential_elementz/ .

Love all the detail that Patricia includes in her nature inspired designs and the inclusion of two rows of overall quilting to ease lining up. Would be nice to look forward to a gift every month that can be added to your quilting box of tricks!

Another Great Find: Quilt Pantographs by Urban Elementz

Found another quilting treasure on the internet--Patricia Ritter of Urban Elementz (http://www.urbanelementz.com)! Inspired by nature, Patricia has developed beautiful pantographs with the mid-arm and longarm quilter in mind. Choices included overall designs and blocks in various sizes. Loved the uniqueness of the continuous line designs--feathers, swirly leaves, bubbles, flowers, etc.

The website is well organized and user-friendly. Spent hours exploring all the options! No need leave home to purchase new quilting patterns, they can be downloaded anytime. Or, if you prefer, she has a line of design/groovy boards, too.

Having my own mid-arm set-up, downloaded this design.....

to finish one of these quilts:

This top is from a Block Buddy Round Robin,

this one is a Scottish Mystery Quilt from the Village Quilter and...
here is a Friendship Star from a Block Buddies swap (each star has the signature of a member from all over the United States).
Asking for your input! In the comment section, please cast your vote on which quilt you think would work best with my pantograph from Urban Elementz.
