  2. This looks interesting and it looks to me like you have the free motion quilting down pat. I haven't tried that yet, it looks difficult but your leaf is wonderful. Thanks for the suggestion on bobbin color, I think I'll use invisible thread in the bobbin, that should help.

  4. Mim, I sent you a warning about invisable thread in bobbins to your blog. They are not to be used in bobbins. The woman who taught my heirloom quilting/top stitching class said they screw up your machine. So my suggestion would be to use a light green and it will be fine. Thread can show on the back! Mine look like maps of the front. I like it. It's OKAY.

    I love free motion sewing. It's like drawing on fabric and it's easy. I enter a zone (right brain I am sure) and just flow with it.

    Try it on some scraps until you get the hang of it. And enjoy!

    Suki, glad you like the dots and beads.

  5. Yes, I read Cloth . Paper . Scissors. Which reminds me:

    Human Being, there is a crow to make that is just delightful in the November/December 2007 issue. I will try to post the pictures later on. On pages 62-65 by kelli perkins. Article called fancy scrap crow dolls.

  6. Lynn, this is veryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryvery beautiful:) I love the assorted beads, they are really wonderful, and you chose so well your colours and prints and also the threads and stitches. I am looking forward to see more of it, it really looks great.
    Those dot-beads are great and those with the swirl too, they look as if you could eat them.

  7. Lynn - thanks for the warning! I'm going to think more about the light green thread, I think that's the best idea. I have the quilt laid out on the ping pong table and I just keep staring at it hoping for a quilting inspiration.
