I managed to fit in a small amount of sewing this weekend.
Free Form Quilting Practice
I have taken some scraps and batting spent some time practicing free form quilting with my springform open toe foot. I first maneuvered the fabric up and down (from top to bottom), and then I went from side to side, trying to get some practice doing this quilting technique without using up too many scraps! I can see that it is going to take a few hours of practice before I apply this to any projects that I am working on!
And I have also been working on this:
Just a sneak peek at the Fall Quilt Swap Quilt that I am finishing up and sending out the door! I had hoped that I would get more practice in with the quilting, but I decided that I am pushing it, trying to freeform quilt this for someone else!
That’s it for now, kind of quiet on the sewing front. Hopefully, I will only have a couple more weeks of slow sewing and make enough headway getting the house together enough that I can actually spend quality time with my sewing machine!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Take care,
Cheryl

Your free motion quilting practice looks great! It’s a fun thing to practice, but I get so nervous to do it on a bed-size quilt. Love your fall quilt swap project. What a lovely idea to add those leaves to the tree branch. You will have a lucky partner!
