Shadow has claimed this practice quilt as her own - she was found comfortably asleep atop the quilt which I had thrown over a chair. Cats do have to road test their owner's quilts at all times! This is the law of the cat.
This piece was a go at continuous freehand feathers - before my machine was rolling smoothly - you can see the difficulty with the squarish curves.these next two pictures are of a piece I designed myself - the first is the front and the yellow pic is the back view - I really liked the fabric I used. The front is a piece of quilters muslin which I am going to colour in and heat set - another table runner? there are two butterflies on it and I love the curvey freehand meandering - so easy as this has been one of my long time doodling patterns.
This beauty is my very first go at a pantograph - under the close supervision of Sue (the APQS dealer in Australia). Pantos looks so much better when they are quilted on a piece = opposed to just looking at them on a roll of paper.
