I am an ardent fan of Leah Day and her videos in fact at the end of the month with some money I have coming in I am going to buy her first book n DVD. In the meantime I am learning from her free videos on her website: http://www.daystyledesigns.com/articles.htm#freemotionquilting

With me making my personalised bedding I thought it would be an ideal project to practise and improve my FMQ. Here are my results so far for http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-13-wandering-clover.html:

My first quarter is terrible but I am hoping by the finish of the quilt I will have it mastered http://bestsmileys.com/fingers/1.gif

Wish me luck :-D

Doesn't look terrible to me, looks pretty good, keep it up!

I really like her website! Looks great!

Don't you love all her free quilting videos. You are doing a great job so far.

You are doing really well! I am impressed!!!

Thanks for sharing the web site. I am learning too and she has some great designs. It helps to see the hands on videos. I'm a new fan. I like what you have done!

Impressive. Thanks for the link

It's looking great! I love Leah but I still can't quite get the hang of it.

looks great to me.

You are doing an awsome job! Keep up the good work!

Keep on going, your doing great. I love her site, such a talented girl.

Looking good! That's what I need - more practice.

Your work looks great. Makes me think maybe I can do it.

Looks great to me.... now only if I could get my hands and brain to function at the same time. :thumbup:

Great that you are going so well with this- I love the clover one in particular- I would like bedding like that!

Leah Day is great, isn't she? I have got some inspiration from her (and at the moment am particularly thankful for her suggestion to not drop the dogs, but just shorten the stitch)

Would love to hear your views on her book/DVD when you buy it. I am tempted myself (but trying not to impulse buy yet another quilting aid- I seem to spend so much already....)

You're doing a good job.
