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:
- Take about 30 minutes to plan and create a free-motion quilting design.
- Do this 3 times a week for 4 weeks. When you finish, you should have 12 free motion quilting design samples.
- 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.
Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
