July FMQ Challenge

This month was the tutorial by Angela Walters at SewCalGal blog.... I haven't been machine quilting much over the past weeks and months... I should have done more paper practice....

but I just wanted to get to the quilting.... Angela's tutorial is so beautiful and I hope to make mine more like that... but I will need a lot more practice...

here is a tabletopper I put together with Eden charm squares... I am going to do all kinds of FMQ on it..... Be sure to check at the July 1 blog to see the tutorial... Smiles and hugs....Caryl

I finished this little project several weeks ago... it was from the June FMQ Challenge... I had only done part of it in June...

I think most people would love this type of machine quilting... it is so fun to just let the design evolve... this one I put on top of a TV tray... flipped over with the backing on top!!.......................... I got my machine back from getting a tune up so ready to get at some projects!! Smiles and hugs....Caryl
