<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Hello Everyone and welcome to my blog!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For all of you that are new to Antler Quilt Design, I'll do a little introduction. My name is Doug Leko and I am the designer behind the name. I have been quilting since the age of 5, and started my own company at the age of 14. I have always loved quilting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please visit my website to learn more about me. <a href="http://www.antlerquiltdesign.com/">www.antlerquiltdesign.com</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(My exciting NEW website will be up and running very soon.)</span><br />

Bed runners have always peeked my interest and I have published several other bed runners as single patterns or as a companion size in my full-size patterns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My bed runner for the book <b><i>Quick Change</i></b>, is titled <b>"Fireworks"</b>. The runner features Primitive Gatherings fabrics by Moda Fabrics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">What inspired your bed runner?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding-left: 30px;">
<b style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">My bed runner was inspired by The Fourth of July. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">I imagined my</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> family </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">"up north" </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">at the lake, watching all of the fireworks getting shot off into the night sky. The perfect connection - three of my </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">favorite star blocks look just like colorful explosions.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The bed runner was beautifully quilted by the talented Natalia Bonner of <a href="http://www.pieceandquilt.com/" target="_blank">Piece N Quilt</a></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I like many of the other runners, but of my favorite is "White Diamonds" by Kimberly Jolly of </span><a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/" style="color: #222222;" target="_blank">Fat Quarter Shop</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really like the classic two-color look.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">This what my mater bedroom would look like. The feel and look is relaxing and calming. I really like the fireplace and the open door on the back side of the room. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. . . the last six days went by sooo fast!! I sure do miss all the activity of Quilt Market and visiting with my adopted family and industry friends. It is fun to see what everyone has been working on since last fall and to share what has been going on in our personal lives. Also, it was wonderful to see many current customers and meet many new customers - thank you all for your support.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The layout of my booth consisted of: five color-ways of <b>Water Lilies</b>, two color-ways of <b>Woodland Stream</b>, and two color-ways of <b>Rustic Star</b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My School House presentation unveiled the SIX layouts that make up my second in a series quilt titled <b>Mystical</b> (samples are laying flat on the walls). Three layouts from <b>Mysterious</b> made a
repeat showing so customers could compare the two patterns (bunched). I heard over and over that customers enjoy the repetitive sewing and love playing with and choosing from the multiple layouts; they
are looking forward to fall market when the TRIO is complete with the
release of <b>Mystify</b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a YouTube video that has been posted from Quilt Market: <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyrn3WK0MGE" target="_blank">Quilt Market Booth Walk w/Lissa Alexander</a></b> (for Moda Fabrics). As the video starts you can see my quilt/pattern Woodland Stream behind Lissa made out of Holly Taylor's newest batik line <i>Trail's End</i>. Then about 3
minutes into the video she talks about the new fabric line and AQD. What an honor to have my
sample hanging in their booth!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">In my opinion, grey is still the hot color. Then pretty much any other color goes from
bright to pastel. Embellishing is still popular;</span> also I saw a lot of small piecing!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">My sewing machine has been humming in preparation for Fall Quilt Market. My NEW pattern is titled <em>Mysterious. Y</em>ou create multiples of one block and then have 6 very different layout options to choose from! This quilt is becoming one of my favorite; created using Scraps, 2-1/2” strips, or Fat Quarters. </span><br />

<br />
First off is Quilt Market - IT WAS GREAT! It was my first market as a vendor. I had so much fun! <br />
Here is a picture of my Booth.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_E_6dOZfGLrE/TEMP2oRjnlI/AAAAAAAAAOk/rNbeos-Z0OI/s1600-h/Picture%20302%5B6%5D.jpg"><img alt="Picture 302" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_E_6dOZfGLrE/TEMP3Lqz5SI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Kn8xXm83jwY/Picture%20302_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="379" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Picture 302" width="316" /></a><br />
The Second thing is my new website. <a href="http://www.antlerquiltdesign.com/">www.antlerquiltdesign.com</a> go and check it out! I now have a store where you can order patterns!<br />

We learned so much at market and meet many wonderful people.<br />
<br />
My latest quilt design (Alaskan Bog) got to hang in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Moda</span> booth. It showcases Holy Taylor's spring fabric line Lakeside Resort (my quilt is hanging in the background).<br />
