Beyond Basic Machine Quilting

Free Motion Garden

Free Motion Garden

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Beyond Basic Machine Quilting »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Whimsical


Materials

I followed the direction in the class by Ann Petersen for free motion quilting.

What was your inspiration?

I was inspired by the matter of fact way Ann Petersen approached free motion quilting. She broke down something that can be so intimidating into clear step by step, easy to follow, directions. This gave me the courage to try, fail, try again, learn, and see myself getting better with practice. Thank You Ann

What are you most proud of?

That I actually followed all of her directions (except for thread painting the points of the center star flower). This project I actually followed step by step and feel confident about feathers, fill in, and thread painting.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Sign up for Ann's class, "Beyond Basic Machine Quilting" and Just Do It!

It's nice to see the different effect using a slightly patterned background makes. I find looking at the projects very inspiring and useful. I hope mine is half as good when I'm done.

Thank You. I guess I was thinking about "applique" and wanting to add more color.

I like the extra thread painting you did on the first flower. Very nice!

What an awesome project! It sort of looks like the new "Zentangle" craze, except on fabric! What an absolutely amazing & beautiful idea for a design project!

Great work! I took the class as well, but you are way braver than I am. I am still working myself up to sitting down and just going for it. Your quilt looks just as good as her!
