What’s on my Design Floor, Monday, February 6, 2012
Posted By drsao on February 6, 2012
My ANGEL SNOWMAN quilt is finished…….AND….the label. I originally named this the SNOWFLAKE Angel – but when I made the label, apparently I changed my mind. LOL. This one has been on my UFO list for quite some time and I am happy to have it completed. I wished that I had NOT put all of those pearls and BEADS on the quilt BEFORE I tried to quilt it…..but it is too late now…..chalk it up to experience.
I am also continuing to work on Judy Laquidara’s ROLLING ALONG QUILT that she is sharing with us!
The FREE MOTION QUILTING CHALLENGE FOR FEB is to make feathers. My first attempt at FEATHERS was unremarkable……my feathers are pointy and do not look like feathers – so I am going to work on that this week! What I LERNED was that it is good to read the instructions BEFORE you try to do something. SIGH. SO – I am not even going to call these feathers….these are pointed leaves!!!
Look at what these feathers are supposed to look like! I need to do some work on this…..LOL. I wonder what my feather example will look like NEXT WEEK!
Also on my design floor this week is the COLOR CHALLENGE for Feb. 2012. Here is the inspiration photo. I will be searching my stash for fabrics this week!
This will be a busy week – given the current state of my FEATHER QUILTING SKILLS! LOL.
To see what other quilters are doing this week – check out Judy Laquidara’s Blog.
No big deal my friend – you are ahead because you have already mastered ferns and now you can master the feathers. I really do not like FMQ, so I applaud anything you accomplish and say go for it on my behalf. LoL Judy C sending you her FMQ energy to use up.
Looks like you have a busy week planned! Great start on your feathering, I need to work on that too!
You’ve been busy this week. Love your snowangelman 🙂 It turned out so well. That inspiration picture is gorgeous – can’t wait to see what you come up with for those beautiful colors.
