I had much more success than the first block, although still not perfect, but I had fun quilting whilst watching new episodes of Gossip Girl via Hulu, and took an intermission to go… Read More
Good Fortune: Block 1 – The…. Bad and the Ugly
Oh wow. Free motion quilting a big quilt is hard work! I have a small machine, no extension table, not set into the table, nothing. The drag as I’m sewing! I also need to get some gloves as I feel totally out of control. As is clearly evident in the above pictures. I seriously nearly didn’t post these pictures… Read More

Let The FMQ Games Begin!
Whilst in Australia, I bought a generic FMQ foot and crossed my fingers and toes that it would fit and work on Ellie. Hallelujah it did! And thus begun a new obsession… I signed up for Leah Day’s free motion quilting class on Craftsy on a whim – it covers a range of designs and patterns for a beginner and… Read More
