Jester Hats-August Free Motion Quilting Challenge

Our teacher for August for the 2012 Free Motion Quilting Challenge was Wendy Sheppard and her quilting motif was jester hats. So I quilted two large hats and made little jesters all around. I also put foil on the edges to give it a little sparkle!!

You can machine quilt, it just takes practice which I have been getting a lot of lately. It also takes learning about your sewing machine and making sure you have the parts to machine quilt. I have a Juki TL-98Q and it machine quilts wonderfully!!!

Thank you, but that one is only a pocket on a tote. I do plan for a Joker quilt real soon, and you can believe that I am going to try the free motion jester quilting ;-)
