Free Motion Quilt Challenge 2012



Havn't done a great deal of anything foe a while - for the Free Motion Quilt Challenge... due to issues of health with Andrea ... 



Did manage to get 2 small pieces sewn...and I was really a bit rusty.  I was using sik thread and playing with colours - not something I will keep.



Then I stared to play with a 3" square... then a feather and some filler.
Was happier with the feather... and worked well when I changed the needle and the thread stopped breaking.
I like the red on black too.


Andrea's health continues to be a problem.
Yesterday we went to Perth to see a specialist... away for the day so I took
my sketch book with me. This is what a
drew while we were travelling in the car :)



So .... I hope to get some sewing done  .... of something ....tonight as its Friday here in Oz...and its FNSI :)
We will see.

  1. Love your feathers - now I've got a taste for them I must try to do more
    I hope Andrea's health starts to improve for you all soon
    You certainly don't need to look for ailments etc they keep 'slamming' into your lives - here's hoping the western winds come in and blow them away for you all ;o)
