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.
Who is a God like You,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of His inheritance?
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of His inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
but delight to show mercy.
You will again have compassion on us,
and will subdue our iniquities;
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
and will subdue our iniquities;
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
— Micah 7:18-19
