Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Design It, Quilt It: Free-Form Techniques »

Instructions

Used a commercial stencil by Pepper Cory that I've had for YEARS.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Traditional, Classic


Materials

cotton, batting, Superior Threads (Bottom Line, Fantastico, Silk Kimono)

What was your inspiration?

I have loved this stencil for years and I figured the only way I could do it was to hand quilt it. LOVE the finished result - about 12 hours including basting and thread decisions.

What are you most proud of?

That it looks gorgeous, just as I was thinking it should be!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just do it!! Cindy won't steer you wrong!

Wow all of your FMQ is beautiful. What machine do you use? A sewing machine, long arm or free arm?

Hi Scheri - I use a basic Bernina domestic machine, 1008. The learning curve has only been in the FMQ, not having to also learn the machine. I have to give credit to the year-long free motion quilting challenge run at SewCalGal. This way I was practising every month, and now every week! THanks for the lovely comment!
