Yesterday was Day 9 and I decided to attempted some fmq on a proper project - I was running out of quilt sandwiches to practise on and felt I had improved enough to take on something more. Below is the Easter Bunny foundation pieced cushion I made a few weeks ago...

| Completed cushion!! |
It was interesting to fmq on a project rather than scraps - I found my stitches got a bit big because I was too scared to drive too fast!! {Now I have to hunt out another uncompleted project to keep practising on--- I have 5 more days of the challenge left.}
Here is a cushion I made a little while ago. Mr Scarecrow is a real favourite with adults and pets alike.

| Quite a climb - you can just see the house in the distance |
I hope everyone has had a good week. I have Midnight Madness tonight at my 'local' (my favourite quilt shop) so I need to organise myself for that. It's a UFO night from 5pm-midnight. Always lots of fun.
Happy stitching everyone,
Looks like you have been having lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah, no more sandwiches for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, keep playing and call it play, instead of practice....sounds more like fun that way!
Glad you had some fun time with your friend, you deserve it.
Looks like you both had a lot of fun (those caps are hilarious)
ReplyDeleteThat Midnight Madness sounds super, never heard of something like that. Hope you have a nice weekend.
I think your FMQ looks great! I was just thinking.... "I wonder how she gets the stitches so nice and even and long"?????? I think the longer stitch looks fantastic:-) I have found that no shoes and a glass of red really helps!
ReplyDeleteHope your Midnight Madness night was lots of fun!!
Your FMQ is looking good. I still find it difficult to keep my stitches even but I tell myself that is why it is handmade.
ReplyDeleteHave fun practising.
WOW what a magnificent view and you did earn your lunch after the climb.
Love the caps.
Have a great evening with your stitching friends.
Thank you, Raewyn, for your lovely comment!
ReplyDeleteYour challence looks good, I had a try at it some time ago and found it very difficult! Both cussions are lovelY. The caps look great (lol), it a good time to me. The bush looks familiar, I think we've been there, Like to see it again!
Happy quilting, Cisca
Love those hats!
ReplyDeleteI think you're brave to enter the challenge. And I love your rabbit cushion. I have a large quilt to finish so I've been quilting everyday. But I don't think I want anyone to look at it too closely! LOL
Your bunny pillow is so sweet. Well done on the quilting.
