So I am really going all out on the free motion lately. Here is my newest design attempt. I think I am going to call it swirly. Oh, and yes, that is a sneak peak of a little "baking" project for November. Yup, you are going to have to wait a while to see it in full :)

"Taggy" to Match and Exciting News
So at the end of August my dear sweet friend had her fourth little girl. You might remember her from my Snuggly Squares Baby Quilt Tutorial. Here she is in all of her adorable glory!
About a month before she was born I made this quilt for her mother and gave it to her then so should could have it hanging over her crib when her little bundle of joy arrived.
Okay, So ready for the exciting news!! Well it is for me at least. When I got home from the baby shower I had an email from the Moda Bake Shop that they are having a booth in the Houston Quilt Festival and would love to display my Snuggly Squares Baby Quilt. Ahhhhh!! I am so excited!! I want to fly to Houston just so I can see one of my quilts among such amazing other quilts made by quilting legends!! If you happen to be in Houston for this event and see my quilt, could you snap a picture for me. Thanks!! :)

So this afternoon was her baby shower. It was wonderful, good friends, and good food. I really didn't want to go empty handed as I had already given my gift 2 months ago so I thought about what I could do. This is what I came up with. A cute little "Taggy". It matches her quilt. How cute is that???

First's in Free Motion
So today I tried some new techniques into my limited free motion abilities.
First, using stencils to quilt in pictures. I really love these leaves!! I used my birthday present (a slice) to make the stencils. When I have more time to play with my great new little machine, I will post about what it can do.

Second, I finally tried pebbling. It isn't perfect but this is my first square. It takes a little more time than normal stippling so I will be working on the remaining 12 blocks for a bit. But I am sure it will be better with each square.
