FMQ & FNSI

Fun time in my sewing studio corner of the bonus room last night while my daughter watched a movie.  I did some basic piecing of two quilts in progress but also did my January's practice FMQ as part of SewCalGGal's 2012 challenge.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce my first FMQ of leaves.

I was pleased with the result - not sure that they all look really like leaves but it was the first time I've deviated from the basic stipple FMQ.


Next up was a little FMQ of fabric I will be making a small bag with.  Darn, wouldn't you know it - I went right back to my old standard.  I looked at this blank canvas and couldn't figure out what to do so basic stipple it was!

I decided I'd better get right back on the bicycle and try again.  I selected a cute piece of fabric that I'll make a iTouch holder for a niece and decided that my leaves could easily become hearts.

Of course you can't see it very well in the photo but I did it!  It was a lot harder to see my quilting as I went (white on white) but there truly are hearts on there!


Looking forward to the February challenge!


Now off to see what others did on FNSI.


Happy Stitching!
