This week I’m sharing with you some of my favorite techniques. On Tuesday we looked at machine needle felting, yesterday was all about Titivating Embellishments and today we look at the wonderful world of free motion quilting Fabulous Free Motion Quilting.
Decorative free motion quilting is one of my very favorite techniques, probably my favorite. I’ve been doing free motion quilting, free motion embroidery, and thread painting for as long as I can ever remember, which is a very long time indeed.
I love the freedom of being able to sew beautiful, decorative patterns and designs onto cloth using all the beautiful colors and types of threads that are available today.
And not only on fabric paper, I also like to free motion on my fabric paper …
… and of course I do actually use my fabric paper to make such things as this beautiful treasure box…
… and even art quilts …
Now grab a cup of coffee and settle in – now it’s time to get really inspired …
