Design Wall Monday - 9/14/15


DESIGN WALL MONDAY -
Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. -
At Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))
===



On my wall today -


I got the letters sewn down -
And the panels together for the top - ;))

Unless you have the same kit -
You probably wouldn't notice -
That my turkey only has ten feathers -
Not twelve - ;))

The kit provided a template -
But I had an 18-degree Stack-n-Whack(R) Fan Ruler -
So I used that instead - ;))


On the Free-Motion Quilting front -

I have been using the Batik Placemats for "warm-up" -
The light blue thread blends right in -
And there are a bunch of areas to fill in - ;))


I finished quilting the Cottage Wall Hanging -
Using a cream-colored thread -
And trying several different patterns - ;))




I also finished quilting the Halloween one -


Trying to do a Free-Motion "loopy-flower" thing in the pinwheels -


The photos are crappy - sorry -
But the flowers (and bloopers) show better on the back -
Because of the orange thread on the black fabric -


If only I knew what I was doing - sigh - ;))


I need to bind these two -

Then tackle the pile in the corner - ;))


And I keep hearing these voices in my head -

Practice - Practice - Practice!!! - ;))

Done is better than Perfect!! - ;))

Practice doesn't make perfect -

Perfect practice makes perfect!! - ;))


Those voices could be really annoying -

If I wasn't having so much FUN - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

I think your free motion quilting looks fine. The best part is that it DOESN'T look like a machine did it. it looks handmade and amazing. The beauty of imperfection should be embraced.

Thanks, Gene - you're right - imperfection is part of the charm of handmade stuff - and I can do charming - ;))
