This is what I now need to do after doing a machine quilting course on the weekend! I did the course at
Addicted to Fabric with the fabulous Beth Reid. As you can see from the pictures below, I need lots of practise to perfect my technique, but at least I now have an idea of what I am doing!
OK, so this is the sampler I did. Hmmmmmmm, what did I say about practise. :blush:
Close up of the leaves and gumnuts. Most probably my best work and the one I really enjoyed doing. I can see me doing lots of these!
This is my stippling. Obviously a lot of work needed here too. I can see how this would be used a lot. Quick and effective once I master it!
Beth Reid uses these two techniques alot with her landscape quilting. I love it, but my circles need a lot of work. I've discovered they work better if you are going fast, but if you go too fast it makes it worse! Finding that fine line is my challenge!
This is the bit I did last, so was getting tired and therefore very lazy! The flowers are suppose to have four leaves, but I often only manage to fit three! The other two patterns rely on you being able to replicate what you have done once several times. Did I mention I need to practise?
Finally there is a picture of my new toy - a quilting table for my machine. Very extravagant but oh so nice!
