I
can’t believe It’s 2012! I’m excited for the New Year and all of my continued
blessings! This year I want to join some quilt alongs to broaden my
quilting“ability” and of course it’ll be lots of fun.
I’m
joining Shabby Fabrics’ 2012 mystery BOM of cottages which are a combination
some applique and embroidery. Every month around the 7th a new block will be
released. I’m excited to see how this will turn out.
I also want to improve my FMQ…so I’m thinking
of joining not one but TWO FMQ alongs. Who says I can’t join both …right? I’m
still trying to convince myself I can handle two. I really want to push myself
to practice, practice, and practice!
I've
decided to take SewCalGal's challenge and work each month to improve my FMQ skills.
"Every month in 2012 a FMQ expert will share a tutorial with tips to help
quilters learn and/or improve their free-motion quilting skills."
I’m
also joining Leah Day’s (Free Motion Quilting Project) has started a new project
called the "Quilt Along Wednesdays". Every Wednesday Leah will post a
video, on her blog, of a design to work on, which gives you more opportunities
to practice and learn more FMQ designs.
I'm
excited to get started...i think i have enough to keep me busy for now...
Again,
Happy New Year and I wish everyone the best for 2012!
