I did not learn any of Leah Day's lovely stippling designs, but just did what I could.
First attempts at micro-stippling with Leah Day
Snow Quilt Designs by Simon Beck
If you haven’t seen Simon Beck’s delightful snow designs, as a quilter, you’ll get a kick out of his stippling technique. Google Simon Beck Snow
or check out any number of websites like http://www.funforever.net/archives/simon-becks-snow-art
Free Motion, first attempt
Here’s my first attempt at free motion quilting on my home machine. I’m following Leah Day’s current lessons at
http://www.freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/
It’s pretty shaky, but that’s fine for a first attempt, considering I have done none of this before. Leah encouraged me to just start in. So you see a lot of learning going on.
Fat Quarter Challenge
This January 2012 challenge was presented by Quokka Quilts using the Fat Quarter Shop to assemble coordinating fabrics.
Here is my selection with the fabrics listed below.
Peggy Toole’s “Florentine” at Robert Kaufman is one of my very favorites. You’ll see it as the wallpaper of this blog.
