Free Motion Quilt Challenge December 2012
Goodness - the last Challenge... very sad, Oh but how much we have all learnt :) thanks to SewCalGal's hosting it.
This months Challenge Tutorial came from Patsy Thompson - and what a great one it is.
Borders - Always a challenge!
I have yet to complete this as I have lots of fillers to do - I had decided to let it stay as it is, but just cant do that...so it will have to wait a bit.
I tried several threads...my big Bernina 820 got zapped in a storm we had a few days ago - and its gone away for a holiday :) so I am so happy that I have the 440QE here - and it has been sewing like a dream...and only a few problems with the tension..
Hope you enjoyed the photos.
I REALLY enjoyed doing this one. I couldn't use the rulers like Patsy and couldn't cope with my practice piece doing the imageing of the feathers... and must admit to drawing the feathers on a small piece of tracing paper and using the pounce pad.
I never keep to the lines exactly, and try to improve on the design as I go.
I truly love to quilt.
Thank you for a very valuable lesson Patsy.
Thank you SewCalGal for this really wonderful year of the Challenge.
How great that we all have another new group of quilting friends around the world
and have added so much to our knowledge of FMQ.
