I have been wanting to longarm Kim Diamond's Zen Bee pattern for some time so decided to take advantage of a brief break between customer quilts in Feb. So I pulled out some ombre fabric I've had stashed and went for it. Now folks, I know that ombre fabric doesn't always photograph well because the brightest section can draw our eye to that specific part of the fabric, but I love these particular ombre colors so much that I quilted it as is because I also knew it was going on my studio wall, so I went for it.
I originally designed the background pattern as tiny honeycombs but it didn't take long to see that it was not the one. So I ripped out the few that I quilted and shifted gears to straight-line quilting to frame the Bee. I spaced the lines 1/3" apart.
Here's the deets: OMNI 40W Orange Glow thread, Quilters Dream 80/20 wool batting, Groz-Beckert 120/19 4.5 needle
and used 2.5 M-Class bobbins. Quilt is 40" x 30", SPI 13, Speed 8, stitch count of 63,087.
I shared a video about Kim's Posh Gobble quilting patterns a couple months ago, and in it I commented that Kim's quilting path is genius, and this pattern is no different. Even in this complicated and elaborate pattern, there is very little overstitching and how she draws and creates her quilting patterns means there are only necessary quilting nodes (e.g. not unnecessary, countless straight-line nodes on curved lines). Thank you Kim for your 25 years of quilting pattern experience.

My 2023 wish for you and me.
Check it out...I longarmed five quilts that are in Stephanie Soebbing's (of Quilt Addicts Anonymous) new book: Fat Quarter Patchwork Quilts. It's always a pleasure being a part of Stephanie's team and I enjoy the journey each one of her quilts take me on.
