I'm hoping to make time each day (which isn't happening right now) to practice free motion quilting. It's the only way I'm gong to improve ... but I feel like I'm wasting materials, thread, etc. I've got to overcome that. I want to do more embroidery work and applique to incorporate into my quilts. I would like to try ruler work. I recently made some hot pads. Now that doesn't sound like learning much, but with 3 layers of batting (including the heat absorbing) + the top and back was a challenge to keep things from shifting when quilting. But I did it thanks to some help from those on on this Board.
