Free Motion Quilting

OK I've been a bit braver and maybe a bit more daring with my quilting over this last year or so, but I will have to shake some of the fears away and try a bit harder.


To that end I'll be following Leah's blog again this year along with other blogs that have lovely inspiring examples of quilting.


Leah has announced that she's got a new project with regards FMQ, explaining away some of the things we are afraid off, how to get the best from our domestic sewing machines, and of course the fantastic selection of patterns to inspire us.  Post 1 link is here.


There are no doubt other FMQ QAL's on the go and here's one I'm thinking of taking part in on SewCalGal's blog.  
I found out about this via Maria Elkins blog and if Maria is planning on taking part in this learning challenge it must be worthwhile, especially considering her own skills to date (you'll see she wants to use the challenge as a way to learn FMQ in conjunction with her new sewing machine).  If this is what she can achive quilting wise on her old sewing machine I can't wait to she what she creates on her new machine.  
What to you think?


Anyone found any other FMQ QAL's starting out for 2012 - if so share them with us all.
