Antler Quilt Design established 2008.

Doug Leko, Founder/Designer
My mom started me quilting in 1998; we have spent many years quilting together. In 2006 my mom opened her own quilt shop and I began learning everything I could get my hands on. As pattern designers visited my mom‟s shop I offered to pattern test for them. This allowed me to help them and I got to practice my quilting. I‟ll be forever appreciative of the opportunities they entrusted me with.

The quilting process is awesome; design thru binding.

• My designs are created using EQ7.
• There is nothing like pulling together just the right coordinating fabrics for a project.
• Functional rotary cutting and trimming tools are a must; along with a perfect 1/4” seam. See my on-line store for some of my favorite tools.
• I know the importance of using the best pressing products available.
• Whenever I start a project, I make test blocks before cutting out the whole quilt.
• I keep expanding my knowledge of longarm quilting - using both free motion and pantographs. I also keep practicing my quilting without a stitch regulator.
• As my quilting projects draw to a close I love hand sewing my bindings. Jeanna Kimball Foxglove Cottage - Sharps 9 is my favorite hand-sewing needle.
• I have worked hard to give you a detailed Binding section. I hope you find it helpful.
• When I release a new pattern I number and sign the first 24. These are intermixed as I fill orders - what a fun surprise.

I like everyone of my quilt designs to look different and whenever possible the design will have a secondary design within it. If you haven't noticed we have a lot of fun coming up with the pattern titles. Every pattern is made at least twice; once during the pattern writing and once after the pattern is written for testing/proofing.

Janet Moser, Partner/Designer
It is my job is to test/proof each pattern. Until Doug gets his drivers license I‟m often referred to as his Chauffer.
