Thought I'd share this one too. This one matches the baby quilt I already did. This was free motion quilted. :)

Beautiful quilt. Looks like that little person wants to keep it for his own!

DebraK 01-02-2011 01:26 PM

Did I hear your little guy say "This one is mine?" Cute little guy and pretty lap quilt. Your grandma will love it. You did a great job on the quilting.

Wow! You are fast! I love it!! Cute, cute, cute!

You are certainly good at free motion quilting! Is this on a regular home sewing machine or a longarm? Do you mark your quilts or just go with the flow? You have an artist's touch.

On a long arm....I just go with the flow. I am looking into getting some stencils to help me learn how to do feathering. I love it and can't do it well.

I've been trying to learn on my home sewing machine and it has such a small throat space. It can be frustrating. I bought the book Hooked on Feathers and it shows a fairly easy way to make feathers with a hook. With what you do already I think you'll have feathers down in no time. When you get your stencils & try it out...be sure to post a picture of it.

Good job, hperttula! Thanks for sharing the pics.

hperttula123 01-02-2011 05:58 PM

I tried doing some fmq on my home machine and I can't do it. They only way I can explain it is like trying to draw only moving the paper and not your pencil.
The different designs I do right now are just from watching other people quilt. I just change it a little to make it different. Feathering is just so beautiful and one day....I will be able to do it!!! Lol....I hope.

Grandma looks kinda young in this pic. Seriously, he's just adorable. Now, can you get him off the quilt to give it away?

Jim's Gem 01-02-2011 06:04 PM

Lol....I did get him away from the quilt and it's a good thing he's three....out of site=out of mind!!! He's off being Buzz Lightyear flying around the house.

It is fun. There is a learning curve. I learn the best by watching other people quilt. I can get the basic design in my head and roll with it. I like watching videos on youtube. My mom got the pajama quilter videos and they are great to watch. Just practice, practice, practice!!! Keep it fun and play. :)

very pretty quilt

Grace MooreLinker 06-04-2012 12:03 PM

are the round print pieces stiched on the top or are they blocks? I like the snow ball pattern.
