Default First attempt at free motion quilting

Okay everyone ... thought we all deserved a good chuckle this morning! I have never free motion quilted before and I decided that it's now or never. I know I have a long way to go, but I it was a great experience for me ... minus a few choice words along the way! It was like trying to ride your bike for the very first time ... a lot of wobbling. To ease your minds, I have signed up for a beginning free motion class at our local quilt shop.

weasier! You did it! I think it looks great for your first one. You should have seen mine. No I take that back, No one should see that.

I am really proud of you to have jumped in and gone for it. I think that once you practice a while, you will be a natural.

Oh by the way ... I love the runner.

Kool runner. I would say that you sure did do it. You have every right to be proud of yourself. I am proud of you. At least you tried and you were successful. I only do the simple things. I am working up the harder FMQ. BrendaK

I really can't see the quilting very well (maybe that was the point, lol) but I do like the table topper, with really well chosen fabrics, and I'm sure you will enjoy your FMQ journey.

I'm finding out FMQ isn't as easy as I thought it would be so this looks good to me.
