Not a quilt, but FMQ'd. Here are some pics of a messenger bag I made yesterday. Thanks for looking!

Edit: Quilted on my domestic machine. ;)

I LOVE this bag. You did a great job and it is beautiful. Wish I had this skill (smile). Thank you for sharing.

Wow! This is wonderful! You did a great job. Love it!

Someday I want to FMQ like that! Beautiful bag:)

Wow, you did a wonderful job of free motion quilting it.

You did a beautiful job.

I love it. You did a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing.

so nice !!!! can i ask.....did u have to mark fabric first or just sight it.....and how long did it take u to get this good !!! i m so dicouraged because i feel like i will never get rthe hang of doig it...thanks for sharing !!!!!!

What beautiful work! love the bag!

Thank you; of course you can ask! I do a little bit of marking; on the front I marked the spine of the feather and then fill in around it. After doing the feather, I decided to go back and fill some of the feathers and also add the little circles to give it a little more interest. I've been at this (as a hobby in my spare time outside of a full-time job) for about 2 years. Believe me, my early efforts were pretty awful! I wasn't sure if I'd ever "get it" either. I kept practicing, studied a lot of videos on youtube, got several FMQ books and practiced, practiced, practiced!

So, don't get discouraged, just keep at it and you'll get better too!

Wendy

Awesome. Just Love it.
Great Job!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful work, I know I need to keep practicing to improve.

Love it....You should sell these..

Oh my....I love it....This is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Did you do the FMQ on a longarm or domestic?

On a domestic machine.

AZ Quilter... I'm not fond of bags but this one is outstanding! Beautiful! Great job!

THANK YOU thank you for the incouragement...Igot a tin lizzie 18" sitdown model and I have to move the fabric to get the design but I can t stand long enough for the type that has the arms that u move following a design with the lasser light....Thank u again...so nice of you to respond so quickly... I love your design..i have been watching a lot of Leah's work....it looks so simple to watch someone else do it...

I've spent lots of evenings sitting and watching Leah Day's videos, then trying them myself too! And have you seen Sharon Schamber's videos? Hers are a real help to me in getting better with feathers.

You have done really well with your FMQing, I love your feathers! :thumbup:

The bag is just adorable. Love to learn how to do the design.

i've gotta try that. that would make a greatbag for a netbook.

It sure would! You could make it just the right size to hold whatever you like. :thumbup:

Your bag is quite lovely. Wonderful job with
the quilting. Different and well designed.

Wow! This is wonderful! You did a great job.

Wow...the bag is nice, but your FMQ is something else. Your feathers look straight from a long arm. Amazing. Gives me hope that someday I can do as good.

beautiful work, love your feathers and the circle fillers

awesome quilting, well done

You did a marvelous job on this stunning bag!

Gorgeous, just gorgeous
