The first pass -

 

 

On my Karma Churn Dash yesterday - 

 

Was fun - 

 

I decided to stitch diagonal back and forth lines - 

In the top half of the HST -

 

And straight ones -

In the top half of the "bars" along the outside edge -

 

 

The first block on the left has Lazy 8s in the Churn Dash part - 

 

And the stencil that I showed you yesterday in the center - 

 

 

But you can hardly see it -

 

 

The second one has straight-ish lines - 

 

With a free-form diagonal grid in the center - 

 

The third one has pebbles -

 

And a stencil "flower" in the center - 

With some echo lines - 

 

 

 

The fourth one has loops - 

And another "flower" stencil in the center - 

With more echo lines - 

 

 

The last one has swirls - 

And a free-form grid in the center -  

 

 

Switching up the designs was fun - 

 

I used one of the rulers to help keep the diagonal lines "straight" - 

Because those are hard to do for some reason - 

So this piece should be good practice for a little ruler work -

 

The stencils gave me "guidelines" for the flowers -

And the chalk powder and a foam brush work nicely -  

But I need more practice "hitting the lines" - 

 

Very little of the quilting actually "shows" - 

 

So some of the "pressure" is off - 

 

And I can relax a little while I quilt the rest of it - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
