#quiltsky #longarm #fmq here are still photos of what I’ve done so far. The suns, trees, and ice cream cones are my own musings. Not very successful but she encourages trying out your own ideas. Some of this is ruler work. The back is in forest green so you can see my mistakes better!
#quiltsky #longarm #fmq Greetings! I’ve been taking Natalia Bonner’s Strip by Strip class, here is a small section of my tinkering. I have a long way to go but I’m markedly improved over where I was a year ago so I’ll take it. I go weeks sometimes between longarm sessions, unfortunately.
Free bus pass ffs…. Is that up to the govt ?? #fmq
#quiltsky #FMQ This is the happiest I’ve been with my FMQ. Not saying it’s great, just that it’s the best I’ve done so far. I used a smaller needle this time & 80wt Wonderfil DecoBob thread. I really like that stuff. Now if only I could execute micro fill on the longarm. FPP pattern by Liza Taylor.
Trying to free-motion with a 25 pound cat on my quilt. Just a normal Wednesday here.

#quiltsky #FMQ #co2laser I’m mainly posting these for the FMQ. I’m not used to quilting on poly/synthetics but my mom likes shiny so I thought I’d try. I also did my best just to relax/have fun with the FMQ and this is what turned up. I’m going to clean up some of the zigzag around the snowflake.
We are going to have fun next year! Here's a preview of my free motion quilting starter pack class. Want the deets before anyone else? Sign up for my newsletter. You'll also get my FREE guide to getting started with FMQ.

I've not watched #FMQ for a while, it's good that the SNP are able to use it to hold the UK government to account

Bobbin, my orange and white cat, sitting on the indigo quilt top I was working on, but I can't move it through my machine with him parked on it.
It was going along swimmingly, until Bobbin happened.

#quiltsky #fmq Greetings. I’m posting my completed Angela Walters Negative Spaces class panel. It’s full of mistakes but I learned a lot. The journey continues; I also enrolled in Natalia Bonner’s PNQ Academy. She’s a strong instructor too. I find her to have a slightly different bent. Front & back.
I haven’t taken one of Natalie’s classes but followed her on IG for years and took a peak at her book of #FMQ designs for inspiration. Her IG videos have been super helpful! And fun to watch.

Wider image of quilt section in first picture with broken needle. Partially machine free motion quilted. Sideways orientation of thread outlined tree, mountain range, and small house with red roof printed fabric. Above panel is a rectangle of an orca batik printed fabric. Below is a pale blue printed fabric with a vaguely floral switling pattern. Only part of the green tinged mountain print is quilted.
Finally got some quilting in!
-Finally finishing a project I set aside in 2020
-Broke my first needle on my new machine
-Good FMQ results for a beginner
-Terrible, no good, how do I fix this? FMQ results as a beginner (excluded due to 4 pic limit--my excuse)

A close up section of a quilt showing applique shapes surrounded by geometric and abstract stitching in black.
All the quilting is finally finished. Now to finish blocking and binding it.

A folded quilt, showing one section with a hexagon surrounded by dots on a black background, marked in a chalk grid.
It was a really long day at work, then I came home and marked the last big section on this quilt to fill. This morning I was disappointed to find that elves had not finished it for me. Sigh.

Free motion quilting sample. It came out cute, and I think I'll turn it into a cover for my planner.

Messing around, trying out borders for my New York Beauties Quilt, because the end of fmq is in sight! This one might work okay.

quilt in a bold blue and gold color scheme, draped over a sofa. The design features rows of small gold triangles on a deep blue background, forming a large central gold triangle. The quilt has a wide blue border and a gray backing with red dots visible on one corner.
It is bold and it is complete 😁
Shall we name it "Close the Blinds"
Yes we shall 😎

A quilt panel with strips of blue, purple, dark pink, pink, sky blue, and light blue has 4 large stars and 5 smaller stars. Each color section tries out a different free motion quilting design including waves, crescent moons, circles, background designs, petals and paisleys.
This month I participated in a #FreeMotionQuilting Challenge using a design panel. I really enjoyed trying out different #FMQ designs and practicing.

Purple and blue background on a quilt with a large colorful star has paisleys, lines, loops, and leaves quilted with thread.
On the other side of the panel there are waves mostly done as the background.
This was the last week of the #FreeMotionChallenge so I got to practice some background designs and changing things up!
#QuiltSky #FMQ #ModernQuilting
A pink star is featured on a blue background. The ogee design fills up the negative space around the star.
And here is my #FreeMotionQuilting practice of the Ogee Design which integrates echo lines and a wavy texture that looks like repeated crescent moons.

About half of my rainbow star quilt is stretched out on a table behind my sewing machine. The stars I’m quilting are visible on the colored pieced stars on the surface of the quilt.
I’ve spent the last week quilting my rainbow star quilt. I’m free motion quilting wonky stars. Sewing with black thread on a black background seemed apropos for the recent holiday weekend. #quiltsky #wipwednesday #fmq
A black long arm BERNINA sewing machine with a work in progress fabric collage of a wolf created with green, pink, purple, blue, gold, yellow, orange and white fabrics. Spools of matching colored threads are nearby. In the background is a teal blue bay and green and brown palms.
My studio always lifts my spirits. There’s always sea life to entertain me.
