    Default What To Quilt On Your Quilt .

    For all the newbes and everyone else!

    I have posted this video before but I think it is good enough to repost.
    Especially since there is so many new quilters here.

    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    Thanks for the reminder! I really must start quilting those last tops I made in 2014.
    I'm now also studying the option of having the pattern previously traced:


    Although I think my tops are too large and bulky for attempting custom quilting on my DSM with all the turning it implies, I really want to try it, maybe on small projects or just for the borders. An overall meandering is what I can do best for those awaiting monsters.

    Thanks for this post. I hadn't seen this one before. I don't have time to watch the whole thing tonight, but I'll come back to it.

    I really enjoyed watching this. I have two king quilts in my line up that I will be quilting on my domestic machine. It does have a 10-11" harp but that is still lots of fabric to shove through.
    I love the permission to make it my own and do what I can do instead of thinking it should have feathers everywhere that I am not capable of doing with my limited experience. I am also very glad of my choice of backing, it has lots of busy colorful flowers and will not show the quilting. whether it is good or bad.

    I finished watching the video this a.m. I clicked on the next one about Mctavishing. That was interesting, too.

    Stencils are a good way to have some kind of guide when you are first starting FMQ
