I had fun trying a new quilting technique with my walking foot and Aurifil 40wt. A full reveal of the secret swap will be shared next time once my partner receives it at our SBAMQG meeting on Tuesday.
Ring Around the Briar Rosies still needs a proper photo shoot but I wanted to share an attempt at photographing the FMQ details. It isn't often that I bother controlling the areas but felt like this quilt deserved the extra attention.

No excuse for not having gotten started on my son's Parsons Gray quilt, fabric is abundant. I'm likely going to pull the blues, greens, grays and lights to use. What style or pattern do you think would be good? I'd love to have you comment.
Linking up to WIP Wednesday with Lee at Freshly Pieced. Pop over and check out the other participants as well as a peek at her new book Vintage Quilt Revival.

What fabulous quilting! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, yum on the Parson Gray stash! Wish I had any ideas on how to use it to its best advantage. If something occurs to me, I'll drop you a line. Also, congrats on all of your finishes. I'm feeling like I've long been neglecting both my sewing studio and my blog, so this was inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYou should be proud of your FMQ! Maybe someday I'll learn....
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I recently tried that orange peel quilting and I'm in love with it. Your looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your swap project!!
ReplyDeleteThe Parson Gray is fantastic! Emily Herrick has a "geared for guys" book, maybe something in there would work. I'll bring it to the workshop on Saturday and you can take a peek.

Thanks Kelly, Geared for Guys was actually one of the Sewing Summit classes that I took from Emily. She was great - now I really have NO excuses!
Deletethe orange peel quilting is perfect with your quilt design. The Briar Rose quilting looks great too!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the amazing finishes! Beautiful quilting too!! I love the materials for your Son's quilt! I like big chevron quilts for boys! They will show off the fabric. I am sure whatever you choose it will be gorgeous. Thanks for sharing .........Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
