Rising Star and Freemotion quilting

Summer has suddenly appeared while spring just bounced away.
And I have finally found my way busy in the sewing loft once again.

My year goal venture has been to explore wholecloth quilting
and in turn expand on my Freemotion Quilting techniques 


That desire has brought me to produce another quilt top to freemotion away.

The pattern is called
  "Rising Star"
which appeared in the
AQ American Quilter September 2017 issue.

I've rather found just how much I have enjoyed this process, 
and to expand abilitites with a variety of techniques with Freemotion Quilting.


Currently my fondnesses with stitched designs fall with
paisleys, pebbles and sqwizzly line sets
with my freemotion techniques.

This has also encouraged consistency in my freemotion flow and with time to loose myself in what I love. Music and freemotion quilting. 




My pebbling and paisleys



The quilting is coming along
and the process pleasing.




Thanks for checking in today,
And Happy Crafting!

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....

 Color, Design, Pattern, Fabric... Oh my! 1. Choose a color palette.  Color Wheel/ Charts    Quilting basics/choose fabrics confidence                          Book, magazine,                                  Design seed                            Paint colors                                  Main  Fabric I tend to like colorful patterns which can help spot the repeat patterns and allow a colorful spectrum of choice. 2.
