SMS Giveaway Day!!

It's here!  It's here!   Time for SMS Giveaway Day - well week!

I recently discovered a must have quilting tool called Pinmoors.  These little bits of silicone allow you to use any straight pin to secure your fabric.  This made basting my quilt for FMQ a breeze!
Loretta from Pinmoors has graciously sponsored this giveaway of 100 Pinmoors and I've added a mini charm pack of Ticklish to sweeten the prize.


 Want to win a package of 100 Pinmoors and a mini charm?
Here are the rules - short and sweet:

  1. Leave a comment on this blog post.   Tell me about your FMQ skills - beginner?  expert? or don't even know what FMQ means!  (smile)
  2. (optional) Follow my blog and leave a second comment to tell me you do so.  
  3. I must be able to contact you by email.
  4. International entries welcome
  5. This giveaway closes on Friday, May 10th at 8 pm est.
Come back and visit when you have more time.  Until then, have FUN, FUN, FUN visiting all the other participating blogs!




*******************************************************************************************************

Congratulations Debra Lee!!!  I know this Pinmoors will help to make your FMQ experience a good one!




 Happy Stitching!

    Hi. I've followed your blog for awhile.
    Done some Free Motion Quilting. Not an expert. I usually quilt with my domestic sewing machine's walking foot. Random parallel lines, wavy lines, thatch patterns, sometimes I quilt in the ditch, etc.

    I'm a total beginner! I've done some quilt tops and some "stitching in the ditch" but I just got a new machine and really, REALLY want to step up! Thanks for the chance at this awesome prize!

    My FMQ skills are pure crap. I've done one baby blanket and am nervous to doa full size one incase I mess the whole thing up. I think once I get a table for my machine it will go easier though.

    Those remind me of the candy DOTS.

    Heh.. no idea what FMQ is. I'm a new quilter, and at this point, I'm doing everything by hand - my machine cacked out a little while ago, just as I finished my first ever quilt top. So I ended up doing the binding and the quilting by hand. I've started piecing my next quilt by hand, and can see that I'm going to have to go shopping for a new machine if I want to sleep under it some time in the next few years!

    My FMQ skills are almost non existent. I have done 1 quilts with stars linked together with stippling but my ability to stick to a drawn line (or star outline) leaves a lot to be desired. But you only get better with practice. Right?

    Took a class in FMQ but that's about it. Mostly stitch in the ditch, wavy lines or a grid is how I quilt... and too cheap (and proud) to send out to a longarmer, lol!

    I'm still getting comfortable with FMQ. I have troubles with my hands and cannot FMQ gripping the quilt sandwich and using my machine normally. My husband got me a Flynn Multi-Frame for my birthday, and I was able to FMQ a baby quilt with spirals without hand pain. I need to work on controlling my speed so my stitches are uniform in length, but I'm enjoying it so far.

    I am newer than new to FMQ. I have done it once on mule eared pockets that my son sewed. Civil war pants. The mule eared pockets had a loop on it. Turned out ok because really couldn't see the thread on the top. When I looked at the back it was too funny. I have practice in my future. LOL

    I'm a beginner but could never imagine hand quilting a quilt!! The first time I tried it was in an OLD blanket repair for a friend of a friend. She called the blanket "blanka" so I freemotioned that into the corner. I also recently did a baby quilt and free motioned the baby's name in 4 places on the quilt. It came out wonderfully I think and will definitely do it again!
