Free Motion Quilting

Hello Everyone! Wow! Blogger has a new look! I'm lost...HELP! I hope that you all have been having a wonderful summer. Thank you for hanging in there with me as we move into a different phase of our lives. My mom is moved in and all set up in her cheery new apartment downstairs. Hubby is still a dreamboat, and I am teaching myself to free motion quilt! It's been very hot and dry here in Iowa this summer, so indoor projects have been the cat's pajamas. This is my first project, a table runner made with scraps. Yes, I am always and forever trying to come up with new and fun projects for scraps. They're EVERYWHERE! Honestly, it's like pulling teeth for me to throw away a scrap of Beautiful Fabric. Hmmmm! Would you classify that as Compulsive perhaps? Anyway, back to the FM Quilting. I am having the best time being creative with it as you can see...waaaay too creative in this first piece! Ha! Anyway I just wanted to check in with you all and let you know I am still working away in my studio.  Speaking of studios, my wonderful hubby is going to build me a detached studio this fall on our property!! Whoo hoo!! Life is good. Off to bed now, but I'm thinking of you all and will visit soon to see all of the fabulous things you are creating!

Love & Hugs & Blessings

Shabby But Chic Hand Tied-Hooked Rug






Oh Boy it has been awhile since I began this rug--a long while. I have been so busy with other things that I had laid it aside for several months. But I finally finished! Whoo-Hoo!! It is a Flower Garden Rug. As promised, I am sharing the photos with you. Hugs and Blessings~Sharon
