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!

FMQ FNSI

FMQ projects lined up for FNSI tonight.


I intend to work on my Full House Schnibble and take my FMQ challenge from SewCalGal.

Happy Stitching!

Rainbow Row

On a cold winter weekend, it was great fun constructing houses that look like they belong on a warm island somewhere.

I think I want to live in this one!

I hope to get it assembled and ready for FMQ by the weekend.

I am participating in Another Year of Schnibbles!  I've been wanting to make this pattern for awhile - it is so much fun!  


Happy Stitching!
