Anything you can do easily on paper is good to begin with.

kwiltkrazy--pics are still downloading but I've seen enough so far to say WOW! And we are Doll quilt swap partners--lucky me. Love the way you've used the insulbrite and can now use these for potholders. This will make a good hands on activity for our quilt guild. (I'm on the program committee so am always looking for ideas.) Gladie
PS Your doll quilt is still a WIP--have most of the piecing done. PSS I hope you don't mind--I just saved your pics to share with the QG committee members. G |
Exactly RST. Try daystyledesigns.com. I just love her stuff, she got me going.
|
Gladie, yours is also a WIP, still trying to get my nephew's grad quilt done. Just the binding now. YAHOO!
|
kwiltkrazy -- I get her RSS on my google reader for a daily fix/inspiration, though I must admit that I pretty much do my own thing. It's still fun to see what someone else comes up with and see how they do it.

I have "Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy" by Eva Larkin. So far, it still isn't easy but I keep practicing. Haven't been brave enough to try it on an actual quilt yet--still using practice squares. Maybe someday......
BTW-several of you Ga. gals are waaaay up the road from me! jan |

I like to fmq but I am not very good yet. It takes practice, practice and more practice,

Free motion as with the dog feet down. I've had no luck, can't keep even stitches. Good luck to you
