Coming together at last... The quilted jacket, which I sincerely hope doesn't end up looking like some sort of luxury anorak, only needs a few more things to be done; buttons and buttonholes, hems on the sleeves, and lining. So still a few hours' work ahead of me, but I am definitely on the home stretch.
The project that caught my eye in Week 133 was Mel's mini quilt with 3D cotton reels. If you haven't seen her blog post yet, nip over now and have a closer look.
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, Russia, Ireland and Brazil have taken part. The first participant from each new country will get a special mention the following week.
Hi Muv
ReplyDeleteNo hint of the anorak about this garment. From what I can see I am thinking sophisticated, 1930s inspired, evening wear - very glamorous.

Thanks Gavin.
DeleteYou know what it's like when you just wish you had finished it a fortnight ago.
Love, Muv
Hi Muv! Your jacket is lovely! Not a hint of anorak, but definitely luxurious. What will you wear with it?

Thanks Donna!
DeleteThere is an almost-finished skirt to match. I'm having a serious fight with the jacket lining today.
Love, Muv
