Free Motion Quilting

Paula Reid is the expert for Sewcalgal's September free motion quilting challenge.

Here is my sample:

I'm pretty happy with it.  My machine is having a tension issue, it makes loops on top or bottom sometimes.  My printer has quit talking to my computer, so I couldn't print the design off.  Instead I put a piece of tracing paper over my computer screen and traced it with a marker- not real exact!  Aside from that though, I look forward to doing more!



Feline Friday

I attended the first day of a wonderful workshop on fabric collage taught by Rosemary Eichorn.

It was so much fun, I can't wait to go back tomorrow!  I do not have a photo yet, but my project does have a cat on it!

 

Happy Feline Friday!

Feline Friday

I have had an exhausting first week back at school!  So happy to be getting reacquainted with my sewing machine though!  This is the view, while I am sewing.

 

This is what I feel like doing after my whirlwind week!

 



National Sewing Month

With the kids back in school, I will be getting some sewing done again.  And how appropriate is that since this is the beginning of National Sewing Month!

I plan to celebrate by sewing, teaching sewing classes, attending a sewing workshop,

shopping at my local fabric store, 

and attending my local sewing guild meeting.

How will you get involved? 

or a man (yes I know plenty of men sew- I've taught some how to!).
