Every subtle shade in variegated thread helps build up the picture. The trouble I am having at the moment is that the weather is rainy and overcast and the light is dreadful. Everything looks a dull yellow under the electric light. At least I have been able to plot the main lines of the composition and am thinking ahead as to how I am going to stitch the bits in between. It is slow work.
Here goes for Week 158.
The project that caught my eye in Week 157 was LeeAnna's Van Gogh inspired quilt.. 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.
Linking up with Nina Marie's blog Creations... Quilts, Art.... Whatever for Off The Wall Friday
and Sarah''s blog Confessions of a Fabric Addict for Whoop Whoop Friday
Hello Muv
ReplyDeleteI stuck some LED strip lights under my 15K treadle - works a treat! There are some that have a dimmer option. I know somewhere (but I didn't find it here) there is one with an option for blue light in the same strip of lights. I think mine was called Bon Lux and just has the on off switch - well, rather a touch switch!
Cheerio for now - I do enjoy seeing your quilting.

Thanks Kerry! I am making a concerted effort this week to sort out my lighting.
DeleteWow - your thread painting is coming along beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie!
