So after last week's free motion experiment, I took many of your ideas and ran with it. Of course I had to up the ante and made the next free motion project a gift! There's no pressure to be perfect, really..
Give myself another reason to just why I don't need a cutting table... or do i?
Before
After
Have your body rebel against you for sitting at the sewing machine in total concentration for too long
Get your act together to finish quilting and make some big @ss bias tape
Admire your almost finished work and mentally prepare yourself for a lot of handstitching, about 160 inches worth..
Happy Friday, everyone!

Oh, those fabrics are so pretty and the freestyle looks awesome. I haven't tried that cutting stance yet, but it looks like it might beat the knees on hard floor crouched over work stance that I have been keen on these days!

You've got style! I've never not loved something you've made and I've been lurking for years. Are those place mats?

I should start using BA bias tape. It would hide all my sewing sins!
Great job on the free hand. That's dedication.

Free form looks like a lot of fun.

It's amazing how fast it took you to get awesome at that! I'm dreaming of a quilt I can make to try machine quilting too.
