I am an ardent fan of Leah Day and her videos in fact at the end of the month with some money I have coming in I am going to buy her first book n DVD. In the meantime I am learning from her free videos on her website: http://www.daystyledesigns.com/articles.htm#freemotionquilting

With me making my personalised bedding I thought it would be an ideal project to practise and improve my FMQ. Here are my results so far for http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-13-wandering-clover.html:





Now I am doing this one: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-5-basic-spiral.html



My first quarter is terrible but I am hoping by the finish of the quilt I will have it mastered

Wish me luck :-D

Thanks for sharing the web site. I am learning too and she has some great designs. It helps to see the hands on videos. I'm a new fan. I like what you have done!

It's looking great! I love Leah but I still can't quite get the hang of it.
