While browsing online, one day I came upon this book from Denyse Schmidt.
I was really awed by the simplicity and the beauty of her quilt designs, and I really wanted to try it out. The best thing about her designs are that if you are a quilter, for that matter even a beginner can attempt to make them. So this time it is an inspired quilting attempt……
Well my attempt at free motion quilting, is not great but I am happy I could manage. The actual quilt made by Denyse Schmidt is quite a big one, I just made part of the design which is the cover page of her book. Her free motion quilting is perfect and a treat to your eyes.
I made it into a table topper as of now, if I feel one day that I should hang it up I can always attach some loops to it. I give the credit of this design completely to Denyse schmidt. Thank you Denyse for inspiring me with your designs. A close up of my quilt……
Meanwhile, there is something else I want to show you all…….
Yay!!!!…. My new sewing machine, a birthday gift from my DH. It’s a Janome, horizon – memory craft 8900 QCP. as you all can see. I think it’s a new model from janome, but it is specifically suitable for quilting. I am yet to open it and try my hands on it, but the table I have now is very small for this one, I don’t think I have the patience till I get a table made, so I will have to figure out some way to get my hands on it. Once I open it up, I will surely put up a picture.
Thank you everyone, for your lovely and generous comments. Till my next post, Bye…. and Be happy….. Rgds, Preeta..
Wow Preeta, that is a perfect table topper. I'm sure you are going to be a pro in fmq with your new machine. I can't wait to start too.
