New Progress
This has been a week of firsts for me. I completed my first bag, and started working on my first wholecloth quilt.
I'm really trying to improve my Free Motion Quilting and this helped immensely. This gives me the courage to try designs on my quilts.
This first step was the outlining...
The wholecloth fabric is cut at 18 x 18." The picture isn't the greatest because it's wet & overcast outside, but the fabric is pink with white thread.
A couple close looks...
This was far more enjoyable than I thought it would be. It's far from perfect - particularly the travel stitching on the feathers, but I don't mind, because I know it's all about the practice. Next step is the micro-stippling. Here's a view of the back - not too shabby - just a couple of hiccups.

the quilting looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWowsers! That quilting looks terrific. Pretty soon you can start advertising! I am an okay-to-moderate FMQ, but perhaps I should practice like you are so I can improve. This is really lovely.
