Project Quilting 14-6 - Conquer a fear from Quilting & Learning

I'm so glad that I saw Kim Lapacek's newsletter on Friday, because that gave me a whole day to prepare this fun quilt. I couldn't resist creating something that might help me though my fears....of submitting a quilt to a show! Maybe this will help

Design Wall Monday March 13 from Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

Happy Monday!! Just when I thought my design wall couldn't get any more colorful, well I just added another layer!! The Queen of the Nile from Pride and Joy Quilting is a new guest on the design wall as we gets started, just completely smitten with her!

I think I need a bigger design wall!!

But alas there is some custom quilting that must be done and it's a great wintery day to get that started. But I will have the queen of the Nile peeking over my should as I quilt.

FMQ Wild Hexies and Making Flying Geese from Quilting & Learning

Hi, welcome to week 420 of Free Motion Mavericks. I have a free motion quilting (FMQ) project to share as well as the flying geese for Round 4 of the SAHRR. I'm glad that you can join me today.

FMQ Wild Hexies, a Mystery UFO

I called this a mystery UFO in my July 2021 post because when I wrote the post, I had a partially made quilt on my design wall with extra fabric in a project box, but no pattern! Since I had been inspired to make the quilt by seeing a finished version on someone's ...

Going somewhere is Finished on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 417 of Free Motion Mavericks! I hope that you've had a chance to play since I last posted. When I began this piece, I had no idea that it would end up being free motion quilted (FMQ). I think that the FMQ added a lot to it. I'll let you judge this for yourself.

"Going somewhere..."

This piece began, as many of them do, with a workshop on TextileArtists.org. I haven't had time to do as many workshops as I would like, but this one grabbed my attention. It took me a while ...

A feather for you and a feather for you and a few other things. from Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

Oh 2023 has gotten off to a great start! 3 quilts on and off the frame. I am in such a quilting groove right now. And I have two more to finish by the middle of Feb so, I do hope the quilting Gods stay with me just a wee bit longer. Want to see what I've been working on? So many beautiful and different things. This is the part where I feel very lucky to be a longarm quilter. I love the quilting part, the final icing on the cake. I get to work on so many beautiful ...

A Little Holiday Quilting from Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

Did you make any gifts for the holidays? I'm in a small but very talented quilt, Friendship Star in Crystal Lake. These ladies are avid quilters and they make the most beautiful things. For our Christmas Challenge we all got a fat quarter and had to make something as a gift. We have no idea who the recipient will be. It's a bit intimidating for me, while I have the quilting down pretty well, everything that comes before is certainly questionable! My first thought was a bag. I've wanted to make the Dancing Diamonds bag for years ...

Sun flames, swirls and rail fence blocks from Quilting & Learning

Hello and welcome to Week 410 of Free Motion Mavericks. I'm glad that you stopped by. I free motion quilted (FMQ) some flames and swirls to the sun in the middle of the Version 2.0 quilt.

Flames and Swirls

Last week I finished the Free Motion Mavericks post by showing you the Sun that I stitched with the walking foot in the middle blue section of the quilt. The section is not quite finished but I did add flames extending between the sun's points and then swirls in the middle of the sun.

This first picture isn ...
