3-Day Mini Retreat

***January 23, 2009 thru January 25, 2009***

"Not Your Ordinary Log Cabin Quilt"

96" X 120"

Finished Block Size: 12"

Level: Intermediate (mostly because of the center applique, which Sandy and I are working on to modify!)

You will be able to control the top's visual effect by choosing a dramatic three-color scheme, or going for a scrappy look using fabrics with softer, draduated values. This picture shows the quilt laid out in a Barn Raising pattern, however, you can make pinwheels, streaks of lightening, etc.

**You can reduce the quilt to Queen or Full size by cutting narrower strips or by reducing

the number of strips per block. Its all your choice!

I personally love this pattern, it reminds me of the South West.....

LIGHT - 3 yards MEDIUM LIGHT - 2 1/2 Yds MEDIUM - 7 1/2 yards MEDIUM DARK - 12 1/2 yards - this includes the BACKING, which you can change. I believe that 9 yards of this is for backing this very large quilt..... DARKEST - 3 yards (this includes the binding, which you can change.

The Shape Cut from June Tailor is a clear plastic cutting guide and ruler approximately 16 inches square with many long slits to guide your rotary cutter in cutting strips and other shapes you use in quilting. The slits are each 12 inches long and run parallel to each other, 1/2" apart. At right-angles to the slits is a set of 12-inch-long black lines running parallel to each other, 1/2" apart. *" I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tool and use it all the time...Rosie"*

Memory Craft 11000 SPECIAL EDITION You may notice that the Special Edition doesn’t LOOK very different from the original 11000 – but don’t let this fool you! The Special Edition incorporates the new AcuFil™ Quliting System, which is nothing short of a revolution in use and function for embroidery and quilting! Janome has developed a host of new features in the Special Edition that cater specially to quilters – a spectrum of the market previously underserved by embroidery machines.

A user can enter quilt dimensions into the AcuFil™ Calculator, and the Special Edition will lay out stippling to cover an entire quilt top, up to almost 10’ x 10’. The new two-way PC connection allows a user to print a template from the Special Edition, and then use the AcuFil™ Quilting Hoop and Template - with specially-designed magnetic clamps - to hoop quilt layers quickly and easily. New functions in the Digitizer software will complement the Special Edition’s quilting features, and the machine offers 72 new embroidery designs created specifically for the quilting audience. These features are exclusive to Janome . The AcuFil™ Quilting System is just the beginning of the exciting new features of the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition. A new Adjustable Ergonomic Knee Lift is a standard accessory, and allows users to select their most comfortable adjustment – for hours of sewing comfort. The machine also includes the AcuGuide™ Automatic Cloth Guide. This attaches to the embroidery mechanism and seam allowances can be set in the machine for accurate results. It’s perfect for hemming or aligning rows of quilting or decorative stitching. New embroidery functions include Automatic Jump Thread Trimming – you can program it to trim threads as small as 3mm in length – Adjustable Speed While Embroidering, Adjustable Hoop Position, Trace Basting and Exact Resume.
