    All I can say is "that you are a fast learner". Great quilting and of course those floral log cabin blocks that you make are pure drool over blocks.

    Me too!! I have to listen for the song my machine is singing--and get to it every time I stop and start again. Moving it at the same speed is hard--that's why the bigger stitches in bigger areas. I get to swooping--which results in bigger stitches. Speed up when moving fast--slow a bit when going slow... easier said than done, how I know

    lol--they will always be what I'm known for. Could be worse--right? :-)
    My last floral log cabin table runner sold--so more blocks are on my long list... probably won't be started until after Christmas.

    Wow, looks to me like you are mastering it. Every time I sit down to free motion a project I freeze and my mind goes blank. I usually just end up straight lining it or putting it away. I admire your stick-to-it-iveness. You've inspired me to try again!

    I am so impressed! What a summer you have had. And, I believe that the thing that keeps us quilting is that each time we finish one, we think of things we want to do differently or things to try on the next project. I really, really like the last one. I love working with black/white themes. The only problem I have is that this is another item to put on my HUGE want to do list!
