Free Motion Quilting Samples, Vol. 1

Monday, June 13, 2022

I took a free-motion quilting class with Swan Sheridan earlier this year. Based on the premise that it takes 500 hours to get good at anything, she gave the class a homework assignment, as follows:

  1. Take about 30 minutes to plan and create a free-motion quilting design.
  2. Do this 3 times a week for 4 weeks. When you finish, you should have 12 free motion quilting design samples.
  3. Compare your last sample with your first, and note the improvement!

This seemed like a good idea, and I took it one step further: I bound my quilt samples into a plush book, with a hand-embroidered cover. This is the result.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
— Philippians 2:9-11
