Time to quilt it...

It's been a while since I've wrote. A lot of good things have been keeping me busy the last few months.

A few months ago I was lucky enough to attend a machine quilting feathers class at my local quilt shop. The world renowned Mark Sherman was the instructor! I had a blast and learned some great techniques. The most important tip was practice, practice, and, more practice. I need to get these quilt tops quilted!
Here's the sample I quilted in class:


From time to time I'll post some of my practice pieces so I can see my growth.

Happy quilting!
(I'm posting from my phone in hopes of posting much more frequently) :)

  1. Hi Dara,
    Your fmq is excellent. The stitches are even, the curves are smooth, it is beautiful quilting. I just bought Ann Fahl's books "Dancing with Thread" and "Painting with Thread", your fmq looks like you are dancing with thread. Bravo! Good Job!
