Quilting quilting quilting

First let me tell you about something that made me Squeeee like a little girl.....I am giving my first class of free motion quilting in 2 weeks!!!! Oh my I am excited and terrified at the same time. I have to make a plan for a 5 week class. Hopefully I won't crash and burn.


My plan this week is "NOT TO START ANYTHING NEW" (sorry I am screaming at myself) and free motion quilt my "Baby dragon" quilt, about time it has been on my "to do" list for 6 months.



Quilt my "Ugly Christmas Sweater" quilt. I had to pick out the first quilting first because I didn't liked to look of it and since it will hang in my booth at the Toronto Quilt Show I want it to look nice.


And finally quilt my "Spanish tiles" table runner

    Hi Yanicka - I love your baby dragon. He deserves your attention! I wish I was close enough to take your FMQ class. I really need to get going to doing that . . . and a 5 week class sounds perfect! ~smile~

    Oh! That must have been a lot of work to pick out all the quilting. But, if it doesn't look right to you now, it never will. Best of luck on the next quilting-go-round.

    I am sure your students will enjoy, love and be so pleased with your classes and learn a lot too. Dragon quilt is a beauty too. Rather you than me having to unpick quilting looks great now it is redone and the table runner very eye catching

    Congratulations on the class. No need to be nervous. You do beautiful work. I'm a fairly new "follower", so I don't think I've seen the dragon quilt before. I am totally in love with it, though.

    Yanika - that baby dragon is too cute! I remember when my son was head over heels in love with dragons, and made him his one-and-only quilt. Fond memories! Thank you for sharing yours on Midweek Makers

    Your wee dragon pulled me in to have a look at your link he is so adorable and love the back-gound you built around him. Is he a design of your own. Thanks for sharing him. Cheers Glenda

    oh wow. such lovely quilt tops.

    I practised quilting on "unimportant" quilt tops that I gave to children. Rather than just practise on calico. Kids don't know the difference, the quilts are used, loved and washed so much.

    I hope to see your posts on future Mondays, Judy Hansen

    Hi,

    I just found your blog through a google search where I found the picture of your baby dragon quilt I was wondering if there was a pattern for this quilt I could get?
