I am so inspired to practice my free motion quilting that I am going to pretend that I did not turn my calendar. I have a schedule that I am suppose to follow, so I do not get behind in my sewing. So last night I decided to do my Free Motion Quilt Along #2. Stippling. I did not do a big sample but I am pretty happy with the results. The blue thread is #2.
So I want to do up some practice sandwiches so I can practice different stitches. I could not imagine just throwing them in a box when they are done, so I sat down last night and drafted what I wanted to do with them. I am quilting one side the same color and the opposite side in contrasting thread. Here is my stipple block. I marked it out before I started but then I went off the line, So I continued but ended in the middle so I just made a cirlcey thing!!
Here is the other side!!
Well now that I have that finished up, gotta take that foot off my machine and flip over the calandar!!
Until the next stitch!
One of my fave bloggers made a quilt-as-you-go quilt with all her machine quilting sample blocks. :)
