I practiced and practiced
and then i stepped off into the deep end.
I questioned myself and reconsidered several times.
Even as i started i told myself...
you can always pull the thread out.
I kept going
I'm still not sure if i like it
but i think i'll keep going.
I'm also doing a GIVEAWAY this week to celebrate my 500th sale on Etsy.
Looks great to me!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me too!
ReplyDeleteKeep going! And congrats on all those sales!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! Straight line quilting makes me sweat because you can totally see every goof, I love free motion :)
ReplyDeleteI hope to learn to free motion quilt. You MUST start somewhere. Looks to me like this was just the right time. LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so afraid to make this step! You are very brave! I prefer hand-quilting....it is not so scary...
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! i hate sewing circles but it does look good!
ReplyDeleteI often feel unsure about how a quilting effort is looking. When it's all finished and bound, though, I often feel good about my efforts. Yours is looking fabulous! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitley keep going! It is looking great! And congratulations on your Etsy sales!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! I'm just starting my first proper quilt and already a bit worried about the free-motion quilting bit.
ReplyDeleteCute machine quilting. We followed your blog! Come follow us back: quackadoodlequilt.blogspot.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKeep going!!! I think it looks great.
ReplyDeleteYour pebbles look a million times better than my first attempt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Congratulations on your 500th sell.
ReplyDeleteI think you're brave! I haven't started doing my own FMQ yet and I'm scared to try! Congrats for taking the leap! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteWow, nice pebbles (and stones!), I hope you like the way it looks when it is finished! Maybe a good washing will add the right magic ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have been doing FMQ for a few years now, and though not an authority on the subject- I think I know good looking quilting when I see it, and for your first attempt it is really very good- don't rip it out, keep it and come back to it to see how much better you have gotten a year from now- it is great to have these things to compare and remember the journey of learning fmq!
ReplyDeleteI started my FMQ on cat mats and lap mats until I got the hang of it. I never used any other method than tying before then, but I'm so glad I did go for it... though I'm still unsure about the circles... but soon - You've inspired me to try it.
