Project from Craftsy Class
 

This is part of the project from a Craftsy class called, "Beyond Basic Machine Quilting" by Ann Petersen. I was so eager to start this project (and had no confidence to make a presentable rendition) that I just grabbed the first bit of extra fabric and started right in. I used a thread that blended so i wouldn't be able to see my mistakes as much. As I finished a little of the class and realized i might be able to do some of the quilting, i then started adding other thread colors. This is not the whole project. i didn't do her borders. I do plan to go back and take this course in earnest and do a better job. The quilt is out of kilter as i didn't have time to block is before My granddaughter decided it was going to be a quilt for her favorite stuffed animal du jour.

terrific!! isn't nice that you can take the class over and over

This is a very nice job. How pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Great quilting, isn't it fun?

Thx for the inspiration! I am signed up also, but have not started. Good job.

Very nice quilting

You really did a nice job!

nICE QUILTING.

I have paid for 3 of these classes, and they dont work on my machine. Oh how I wish they did, I'd be doing this now. It is so neat. You are doing so well for beginner, not sure mine would look like that. Good Luck, keep up the great work, girly!!

So cute. Nice work! I especially like the dragonfly!

What a fun looking project! And what could be more perfect than having your granddaughter fall in love with it. :thumbup: I can't wait to see more of your work!

Don't hesitate to contact them, they will help you try different things to make them work. They worked better for me using Google Chrome as the browser. They will also refund you if you aren't satisfied.

Looks great! I think so many people would really enjoy it, but their biggest hurdle is to just try it!

It looks like you were having fun. I love the whimsical flowers. It is cool how you made the one with the spiral

WOW! I am going to take those classes! You did a fabulous job! I need to start with the basic one first though.

wow what a good way to learn to do feathers

This class, and the instructor, are great. I did not complete the full project. I practiced each new skill on a separate scrap. She gives so many options, you are sure to find one that works for you. Your project looks great.

That is really good! Well done! You won't be having any more issues with machine quilting after this! :)

You sound like me. I did an entire king sized quilt using matching thread on top! I am so proud of you for branching out into different colors of thread! This is so exciting. Now your options are limitless! Continue the fab quilting and I hope to see more beautiful quilting from you! (BTW I'm from PA too and had to look up your town because I had never heard of it before.)

Great job!

I have had the pleasure of taking a couple of classes from Ann at a now closed local quilt store.
She is a great teacher in class, and an award winning quilter.
I wish I had taken a couple more of her FMQ classes when they were still open.
Happy quilting.

Looks great. I really have enjoyed the Craftsy classes so far.

Ooooh, great job! I have been considering some of their quilting classes, I hope I will do as well as you. ;)

Love it!!!

Nice stitching. Looks difficult.

I am a hand quilter and would like to learn how to machine quilt. Would this class be a good one for a beginner?

Very well done.

Very nice.

I signed up for this one to learn machine quilting http://www.craftsy.com/class/Machine...Motion-More/37 and I really learned a lot. Then I signed up for http://www.craftsy.com/class/Quiltin...all-Machine/51 and I think between those two classes and Leah Day's website (which is free and you should check it out if you have not done so) you can learn to quilt anything!

Very impressive. Nice job!

wow! have you ever quilted before? I signed up for a quilting class, but have not gone far because I have trouble with my computer buffering & I keep having to wait or refresh. got frustrated so I haven't been back.

When I first started the Craftsy classes they played great--not long ago I signed up for another one and it played horribly. I run Windows XP and Craftsy kept saying get the newest Internet Explorer--well, it doesn't install with XP and I did install Google Chrome which helps. Some people say Firefox works for them.

Well done, I have also signed up for this and "watched" the videos while piecing another quilt top! Look forward to staring it soon!

That is very interesting. Good job.

nice job!!!!!

I think it's just great, good job.

Boy that would make a pretty whole cloth quilt. You did wonderfully.

Of the two classes on Craftsy which would you recommend first?

Looks very lovely but also very complicated.

Here is the one I made from this class. You can see the difference in choosing the right thread. I used variegated thread and a lot of mine faded into the background.

Yours looks so nice with the colored thread showing.

It is a fun class and if you are interested in fmq I suggest you get this class the teacher is great and explains things very well.

Firefox is the best for me to view on. I just had my computer in for repair and the tech thinks that the company has so many people using the website that the problem is on their end. Sometimes it works fine and others I just give up. Try firefox it is the best.
