****WARNING --- COFFEE SNORT ALERT****

I know some of you like to sip your coffee at the computer while reading the board and occaisionally things have caused laughing and coffee snorting onto keyboards. Consider yourself warned.

I decided to try my hand at FMQ. Why you wonder since I can't even stitch in the ditch straight? Well, in my circular logic, if you can't drive straight, drive deliberately crooked.

The results are far from perfect but will serve their purpose just fine and I got lots of practice.

Thought I was fancy there for a minute and tried a "motif".

My FMQ stitches are not very uniform. I think a foot would help. The fabric kept wanting to climb up the needle.

I tried sewing the binding like Eddie does it. Let's just say I'll need to practice more or buy Fabri-tac by the quart if I want the back to lay correctly.
