I was hoping I would have practiced this free motion pattern more this week. In my own defense, I must admit that I had a very busy week! I took classes at MQX in Manchester, NH for 2 days. Last night, I attended the Friday Night Dinner also at MQX. Mark Lipinski was the speaker. I went on the Mystery Ride through my quilt guild today. That was an all day activity! I had no time to practice! I did manage to try out this design a couple of times.
Amy's Free Motion Quilting Adventures sponsored this Scroll Flower design this past Monday. It looks so nice and easy when Amy quilts it on her video. I think this design is so much harder than it looks!
I think I need to make my stem a little shorter and learn to space the flowers a little better. I love the actual flower. I just have to think of a better way of getting there!! The black sample is my first attempt. I actually improve in the red sample but it's a little harder to see.
I think this would make a great all over pattern. I'd like to keep practicing. I have a quilt in mind where this design would look really nice. Must practice!!
It's a beautiful pattern and you have done a great job! I agree, practicing is the key, which I'm not good at at all! Don't think I have the patience - lol.
ReplyDeletePracticing is the hard part! I do hope I improve. Thank you for the kind words.
DeleteOh my--your quilting is really "coming on" so well!! Lovely pattern...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's becoming more fun but still something I have to practice.
DeleteFor no practise, it's great!! I had an interesting time flowing from one flower to the next, as well.
ReplyDeleteI have to try to keep my stem a little shorter I think. Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope to visit yours very often!
DeleteGreat way to finish off a very quilty week. Your dedication pays off.
ReplyDeleteSo nice of you to say! It's a fun pattern but I need to work on it a little!
DeleteYou did a nice job getting the flowers fairly evenly spaced. I want my stems shorter too
ReplyDeleteThank you but I certainly need more practice. I'm hoping I have more time this week. Thanks for visiting my blog!!
