PLAYING - BIGTIME

I belong to a group on the web which is teaching and challenging us at the same time to be a better quilter. I have so much fun at this group I am so glad I joined it and am showing some of you what I have been up to. We have a different Tutor each month and what they get us to do is pretty amazing. I have learnt so much from them this year. I don't know why the writing has gone in the middle of the pictures??? Very strange. Anyway, this idea is to make us a better quilter as I say and to prove that what can be done on a LongArm machine can also be done on a domestic machine, and some of the ladies have done absolutely fantastic work, I am getting there slow but sure, I am enjoying myself enormously in the process of all this learning, I shall be quite sad when it all ends in December.

These are just a few of the samples I have made recently for the September and October challenges. I hope you enjoy looking at them. I wasn't quite sure what to class it under hope I have chosen the right catagory!!

WOW ! ! !

Wow Jan! Those are great, how do you do the spirals? I can't work those out.

And I really like this one, will have a go at this

Everyone has already taken my word but...Wow. Jan this quilting is brilliant.

Perhaps we aught to organise a weekend retreat with you teaching us FMQ, think of the fun we could have

Thanks for sharing these pics with us

Amazing! The silk really shows off the texture. Is the one Katy flagged free motion? I will have to find a class like this... I currently have 5 types of quilting in my repertoire, all free motion- straight lines, stippling, echoed swirls, thread sketching and writing (to wildly varying degrees of neatness...). I'd love to try drawing a design and then quilting over it to produce some of those fantastic feather circles like you have done!

Wonderful quilting Jan. I especially like the circle of feathers on the white one
