Doodle Quilting
1 Attachment(s)
I picked up the book Doodle Quilting by Cheryl Malkowski that had over 120 continuous line machine quilting designs and decided to take a stab at the rose. Don't look too closely at the stitches as my machine is skipping but my little trial didn't turn out too bad. She has some nice designs in her book with easy to follow drawings.

It looks perfect to me!!! I have said for years that I am going to learn FMQing. Each time I practice I have to put it away for a while and then I have forgetten everything and start all over! I need to make it a priority!
|
Wow! That's awesome! I can see that's a book I need! I'm such a rookie at FM! Thanks so much for the info.
|
Very well done, you are doing great!
|
Oh my! What a great rose. YOu doodled this? What a neat and cool project. You must be a natural.
|
very well done
|
Looks like you had fun! Love FMQ, and the more you do the easier it gets. I think continuous lines are the way to go, too...the further you can go without cutting the thread the better!
|
it's lovely... you should frame it :)
|
That's funny, I just opened her book this morning. I forgot I had it. She does wonderful things. Your flower looks just like the book,good job.
|
Nice job, Tartan! I have that book, too. Time to open it up again ;-)
|
Thanks for the review, think I will look for this book.
|
I'd like to step my quilting up a notch - thanks for showing your gorgeous sample and telling us about the book!
|
Looks great to me
|
You did a GREAT job!
|
very nice!!!!!
|
That is awesome!!!!
|
That is beautiful. I'm still practicing my FMQ.
|
Really nice job!!!!!
|
What a wonderful quilted rose, I think you did a great job. I need that book, I have never tried FM quilting yet. I am too chicken, I don't want to mess any thing up, so I need to practice on a plain piece of fabric. Thank you for sharing with us.
|
Well done......... might have to look for the book.......... thanks for sharing.
|
nice quilting....................
|
Looks good to me.
|
I like it, you did awesome. Great job!
|
Impressive and motivating - made me look forward to trying FMQ'ing again!
|
I have FM'ed for awhile but I see I need to purchase this book for some new inspiration!!!

Very nicely done.
|
you did a great job... you should definitely save it... I love going back to beginning projects to compare how well I've improved at something but yours is just about perfect as it is.
|
Nice job....
|
You did a great job. I'm envious as I have not concurred the world of FMQing yet.
|
I'll have to see about getting the book.
|
Looks good to me.
|
wow! great job
|
That looks just about perfect ! Great job. Gonna have to look for that book myself. Tks for sharing.
|
Good practicing. I picked up on your statement that your machine is skipping.(Bottom right leaf?) Music to my ears. Mine does too, and I try to diagnose when and why. It "sounds" to me like the needle is not going all the way down and engaging the bobbin thread. I have tried numerous combinations, mixed the threads up, tension, changing the needle, speed, yada yada. No one seems to give a good solid fix. What is your take on why it skips? I have a 2 year old Babylock Symphony, routinely serviced, and the dealer doesn't have an answer.
|
Awesome job!
|
Thanks for the tip. I just bought a copy.
|
This could be a great quilt as you go project -- All the roses on the same background with different threads? Or the other way around. Great job.
|
Did you mark your lines or just free hand doodle? I may not follow them exactly, but I still need marks to stay on task.
|
Wow, looks good to me. My moves are so jerky
|
Very impressive - the extent of my courage is meandering, so I applaud you!
