March 2012 FMQ Challenge Tutorial, by Ann Fahl

I must say when I first saw this challenge I thought it looked quite easy WELL!!!! I found it quite hard as I am so used to NOT going over were I had stitched. You know when you stipple there is NO crossing over other stitches I'm sure you know what I am trying to say!!!!!!!!!!!

Fairy Quilt finished

Now the fairy quilt is finished I must get on to doing my FMQ challenge for this month!!!!!!!!

Dissappearing 9-patch

I have been spending so much time quilting lately maybe just MAYBE I had better do some gardening now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two cats testing my quilt!!!!

Lucy is testing my quilt just after the basting stage, take note of the backing fabric I have quilted around those feathers from the back in green thread. For the border I have used pink thread but quilted it from the front. Below is Oliver testing the quilt before the binding is done.
Tomorrow I hope to bind this quilt and take better photo's outside which will hopefully show up the quilting!!!!!!

FMQ cushion. Made on a treadle sewing machine

Today I made this cushion cover on my treadle sewing machine!!!! I tried to upload a short video clip of me FMQuilting on the treadle but it was taking forever so I gave up maybe I will try again another day.
