I've been trying to come up with ideas on my own so I don't have to throw out my Free Motion Quilting practice pieces, but be able to use them instead. I'm hoping you all will post ideas for small projects to practice FMQ on that don't have to turn out perfect. |
I tell my students to make a hot pad, pot holder or place mat out of the pracetice piece and tell your guests it is modern art.

What a gorgeous girl.

Oooh how sweet.

My first FMQ was on potholders. When I want to try something new now, I make a potholder sandwich to practice on. The only problem is that working with such a small object isn't the same as working on a larger quilt.
A dog bed quilt or sleeping pad would be another idea. |
How about a doggie quilt for him to lay on or if you know someone with little kids the less than perfect small quilts are perfect for them to carry around. You could do place mats or even mats to put under your TV,etc.

LaraB. I love your saying under your posting. I kinda have to hide mine sometimes too.
|
I practice on a sandwich that is big enough to make placemats for just the family everyday use that way I am not wasting fabric or thread.
|
These are so helpful tips. That's why I like this board so mcuh that I can't get anything done.

Yes, Olive is a cutie. She is a rescue who has been through 3 homes. For the life of us we can't figure out why. She is my daughter's dog and is about as perfect a dog as you could wish for.[/quote]
Olive is absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad your daughter has given her a good, permanent home. I have 3 little dogs and one of them is a rescue and he is just precious. |
