Slow Sunday Stitching

Another busy week has passed.  Recently I signed up for the Free Motion Quilting class @String and Story with HollyAnne Knight.  I took this test recently to find out what FMQ motif I was.  You can click the link, and get a free lesson into how to make the motif.  I took the test before and the result was a wishbone, but I mishit a couple of questions so I retook it.  I love making pebbles.




The first class was this week, and these are my practice pieces.  I'm still getting the hang of swirls, and getting the tension right.




Last week I also finished Cassandra's Circle block by Barbara Brackman @Civil War Quilts.  



I also I was able to finish a block for the private Christmas BOM I am in.



For Slow Sunday Stitching this week I will be working on this piece.  I need to stitch down the wool pieces.  It is a stitch along I am doing on the Facebook group Quilts by Cheri Friendship Group.  This was designed by Marian Edwards.


I'll be linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching @ Kathy's Quilts.  Head on over there and check out what everyone else is working on.  It's my favorite thing to do on Sundays.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I think I could maybe handle FMQing on very small pieces but tackling a large quilt is so hard! Your applique block is sweet in those blues!
