I have been looking at everyone quits for the last few months but never posted one of mine. I started quilting this last October and have found myself total addicted. I have been trying to do a new type every time to learn something new. I have made 12 quilt now and have four in the works. My FMQ is getting much better. I知 doing anything 75 inches and under myself and sending anything bigger to a local long arm quilter.
I知 posting photos of three of my quilts all FMQ quilted by me.

Beautiful work!!! I love them all, but that teapot one is my fave. How long did it take you to master FMQ? Mine is terrible.

I spent 16 hours quilting the Tea Pot quilt and i did it in two days because i needed to bring the quilt to Chicago with me for my MIL and doing so much in such a short time brought my skill level way up. I did flowers and leaves all over that quilt. I don't have any close ups of the quilting on this computer but i will post some latter of it. I was very happy with the quilting. I alway have a little trubble with the center of one's this big (about 76 inches wide) so much material to manage.

Love them all. Keep up the good work :!:

You really got hooked, didn't you? You sure have some nice quilts done here and I admire that you are doing all that quilting. I have yet to get that FMQ down good enough to try doing a quilt of any size! And I have been making quilts for about 20 years now! I can do SID on smaller size but would love to be able to do FMQ. Maybe someday! You keep on quilting, girl. Waiting to see another one from you!
