Free Motion Mavericks - Week 85 - And Then There Were Two

Combining sewing with the rest of one's life can be tricky sometimes.  At the moment the rest of life is winning.  All I have got round to this week is putting the binding on the second failed tea cosy table mat.  Perhaps I should make some colourful cakes and have a proper tea party.

Here goes for week 85...

 

The project in Week 84 that really caught my eye was Cynthia's Scrap-A-Palooza quilt, using scrappy strips and a big bold flower design for the quilting - definitely a method I might try soon...  If you haven't seen her blog post yet, nip over now and see more photos.

 

If you love free motion quilting, whether you are a beginner just taking the plunge, or you have reached the stage where you can do ostrich feathers with your eyes shut and still achieve perfect symmetry, then please link up.

Remember, FMQ is FMQ, whether your machine was made last week, or it is older than your granny.

Here are the very easy and slightly elastic rules:-

1.  Link up with any recent post, ideally from the last week but within the last month, which features a free motion quilting project, whether it is a work in progress or a finish.

2.  Link back to this post in your own post and/or grab the linky button for your blog's sidebar.
  
3.  Visit as many of the other participants as possible and say hello in the comments box.

4.  The link up will remain open for four days, from midnight to midnight GMT for the long weekend, Friday to Monday.

So far quilters from the USA, England, Wales, Australia, Canada, Germany, Holland, New Zealand, France, Macau and Russia have taken part.  The first participant from each new country will get a special mention the following week.
