Free Motion Quilting




At our Tuesday night group (Night Owls), we had a class of Free Motion Quilting and this is the 'sampler' I completed.  It was quite a challenge and I still have a long way to go.  However I will keep practising!

MUG RUGS AND FREE MOTION

I have made these mug rugs today.  I have been practising free motion quilting and have done some meandering on these rugs.


The cushion was all done free motion - I found the design for the large flower in a quilting magazine.  It was supposed to have a tear drop filler in the background.  However, I decided on a swirl design would be more manageable for me.
I have added a pic of the flowers on a tree in our garden.  They are particularly beautiful this year - something to do with getting rain at the right time!
