Work In Progress



I like the idea of work in progress Wednesdays, but up until now, I have been busing working on a quilt for the British Quilt and Stitch competition and haven't been able to show that. Now I've finished that - all but the binding - I can join in the WIP fun!

This is going to be a black and white piece - not sure yet how it will work out, but this cloth will be cut up and appliqued when it is finished. Oh, by the way, as you can perhaps see, I haven't marked anything - not even the columns. I believe in learning to love your wobbles!!



Thanks for stopping by...

    It is done on a Bernina domestic sewingmachine - now very old! No stitch regulator or slide speed bar. Just drop the feed dogs and move the fabric. I do love free motion quilting and I love thinking up new designs. Secret? You are not a machine. Be consistently inconsistent and learn to love your wobbles. (Quiltingwise or other!!)

    I'm so pleased I've read this post ... as a newbie to FMQ, I will definitely have to learn to love my wobbles :)

    What wobbles? I don't know if I'd be brave enough to cut it up, but I can't wait to see what you do with it. It's stunning and it makes me want to sit down and my machine and practice....practice....practice.

    That looks like the side of my Bernina 152! :-) Great work and I don't see any wobbles either! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this. Well done!
