I think you did a great job on it! Love the colors and pattern.

Looks fantastic!
|
great job! doesn't it feel good to shake the fears?!
|
As a longarmer myself, you have a done a "great job"!!! Keep going, practice, practice, practice!
|
A good job! I could not do as well, for sure.
|
Absolutely terrific. Thanks for sharing.
|
How pretty I love the table toppers. I also use left over blocks for putting under thing on tables, ssort of like a place mat
thanks for showing this your LQ is great. |
Great job on your first longarm quilting, you're ready for a big one now.
|
Wonderful! http://smilyes4u.com/img/2/f1.png

Oh my, that looks gorgeous. What a good job.
|
Good luck in your new adventure. Looks good
|
Beautifully quilted & made !!
|
I love the colors in this topper! You did a nice job on it!
|
Great quilt! Give yourself a big pat on the back!
|
That came out great! The pattern is really nice and the quilting is a perfect design. You're right in that it is just fabric and I'm glad you went for it.
|
Looks great to me. Well done.
|
Looks great to me, and I can identify with the "cautious" part, but we plunge onward and love the learning process. Hope to be able to do as well someday. This is lovely.
|
You did a wonderful job. You should be very proud!
|
Doodling! what a great idea! Each day on this board brings me closer to the realization that I did not get "lost" on the internet when I found you all! It had to have been divine intervention! I am no loger alone! I have learned SO much just by lurking in the background listeniing to youall and now have "quilty-friends" to share my thought and excitement with! I no longer have to just hear DH say " Oh..that's nice"!
And I have to admit... my first framed quilt sat on the frame for 4 days before I could find the courage to put that first stitch in and I still can't bring myself to mark on my quilts yet! This will be so much more fun when I no longer have to tear all that paper off! |
Wow, That looks GREAT!!! The quilting is awesome. I am sooo jealous, in that I also bought a used midarm and frame.......a year ago!! I am just so intimidated by it, that I have not done anything on it but some practice on muslin. I am trying to work up the nerve to try it. You have inspired me. Thanks!!
|
Looks great! I hope you enjoy many more. Thanks for posting and look forward to many more pictures :)
|
Great job and love your topper.
|

|
Great job!!!! Keep going....you will be a pro in no time :)

I find drawing and doodling helps a ton. Some people like erasable whiteboards but I like good old fasioned paper and pencil so I can hang on to the drawings that turn out really well and keep them for reference. I am acquiring quite the pile of drawings. I bought a bunch of pads of newsprint when it was on close out and I doodle away. I wanted to be able to do feathers so I drew them and drew them and drew them until I could practically draw them in my sleep and now I can LA quilt them just as quick and easy as you please so give that a try to. I recently discovered Zentangling, a form of doodling that is so relaxing and fun to do. And it really helps me come up with quilting ideas. There are loads of websites about it, I have never taken a tangling class. Edited to ask... What kind of machine did you get? Do you have a stitch regulator? I have one and I have yet to get up the nerve to try and quilt without it. |
Very pretty quilt, just wait, you'll get braver as you use the longarm. I love mine everytime I put a quilt into it and have it done the same day.
|
beautiful !!!
|

|

Very pretty table topper. Since they say that practice makes perfect, you have to jump in somewhere. You did jump in and I think the outcome is more than OK-very nice. I hope you enjoy your long arm and become very comfortable using it. I have 'rented time' at the LQS and know it is very different than my DSM. I keep going back. Since I am paying money I do take quilts I am making for others-I can't afford to just 'practice' on scrap sandwiches. There are mistakes; but, there is progress. But, it isn't the wrestling match that is a part of quilting at home.
|
nicely done
|
love your quilt !!!
