Izy, you are just too bad, but what a great job you made of that meandering thingy, male whatsit or not. LOL :D :D

for starters until you can get the table extension that you really want, you can use your ironing board at the height of you machine table and also a card table will help, even if it is not quite the height that you need. It will hold the bulk of the quilt for you. You did an excellent job. Try a little music to help get in the rythem. They also say a glass of wine will help! great job.. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Izy, you did a great job of quilting. I really like how you stippled on the border. I think your quilt inspector said it all. Comfortable and delicious!!! :-) :-)

What a Fantastic Job! Love your meandering too. We call this pattern "Mile a Minute". When my s-i-l made hers, she felt she would be using up her scraps in her bin... Wrong... it made more.
I love the way you've completed it too. Awesome! Your children will love it! |
Izy ~ Love your quilt!
I tried to post to let you know how great I felt your quilt was. I think it ended up in cyber space some place? If is shows up soon, I guess you'll really know just how attractive I feel your quilt really is. Great Job! Great Gift! This pattern is what our quilting group has been calling "Mile a Minute", don't you just love scrappy quilts? They always catch my eye right off. Awesome Awesome and I love the way you put it all together too. |
It's gorgeous!! You're amazing!! :D

Elle She is so naughty isnt she? Hey but if it gets the job done, I am going to go find a nude male model and really get inspired!!! :lol: :lol: |
Izy, that looks great to me. I think we all tend to focus on specific spots that had a little boo boo, but if you wait a few weeks and look at it then, you probably can't even find those areas. I'm not the world's greatest at FMQ, but its fun, I like it and I have to practice on something! You did a great job and this quilt is soo cheery anyway.....see that big smile on Sasha's face?? :lol:
|
WOW! I absolutely love your quilt!!!
Bright colors are usually what I work with and I really admire the overall effect you achieved. Gorgeous! They must be thrilled about it. Posts pics often, julieah :) |
What a wonderful quilt, really like the colors and the I spy type materials, cute inspector too. :D Think I did my meandering way too small/close together, got my nose in close and didn't look at the whole picture. :roll: Yours is beautiful.
|
Boy, what a great looking quilt. I love the colors and your quilting turned out great. I love crazy quilts, but I don't like making them. This one might just give me some inspiration tho!!

Izy-Your quilt is fab-u-lous!!!! I am a free motion flunky. I have tried on many occassions and it just does not go well for me. You are a brave soul--with great results. Keep it up, my dear, and you will be quilting circles around us all. :-)

Yep me too, can we have Tom Cruz, or the guy that plays James Bond, wow that will do nicely, LOL Elle Edit: Just as well those mice are blind!!!!! :shock: |
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Great job. Love it. But someone else loves it too. Not going to be able to give that one away by the look of things. You'll just have to whip up another one.
|
Oh Izy that is stunning. I am trying to get the courage to try FMQ, you have given me hope!

I had great fun meandering and who really cares if I get too close to another line of stitching or end up with right angles or dog's hind leg shapes, so what if my stitches range from teeny tiny, to great big tacking stitches.....I swear I was meandering the shape of male genitals at one point :roll: It had me in fits :lol: :lol: :lol: |
:D :D :D
|
Oh Izy. I can't say which I like better the fur baby or the quilt. :D The quilt is Awesome. You did VERY good....... And that fur baby just stole my heart.....
|
I love your quilt, the colors are so fun.
AND!!! That quilt inspector is totally cute!! |
Great job on the quilt. I just took a class on FMQ but will have to wait until after Christmas to actually get anything done. Again, Great Job!!! |

Thanks everyone for your praise, I really appreciate it :D |
So cute. The quilt and the inspector.
|
Upto now I think Sasha is in the lead with the scores :lol:
Thanks everyone, you are all so generous with your kind comments :D :D |
You have done a great job and you may congratulate yourself....
The free motion is perfect....you are the only one to notice its not.... The colors are so cheerful.....I bet they will appreciate it very much..... Nice work :D |
Ania, you are so sweet to say that, cheers :D :thumbup:
|
APPLAUSE!! You did a terrific job!!

There are a few 'hiccups' where panic set in when I realised I was getting too close to another line of stitching, but what the heck, it's my first real attempt and only my 4th quilt (the biggest!!), and as you will see it has been 'approved' by the quilt inspector!! :D |
Only just seen your message, thanks :D
|
That quilt is beautiful... so bright and cheerful, Great job with the stippling!
How old is your "Ryan"? Mine was 26 in December. I also have an "Erin". I call them my little leprechauns! |
You did a fantastic job! Great colors.
