My FMQ Challenge

Well; I have done a few practice sandwiches and every day is different for me..I am not scared of it anymore...lol. Whether or not I will ever get good at it; hmmmmmmmmmmmm...that is another issue...haha. But I am going to stick with it; if it kills me!! I have visited just about all of the links posted for this challenge...some great work....some more like mine...but we are all working at it. Surely  it will get better..lol.

Seriously; there is some lovely work out there. So make sure you check it out at SewCalGal's; where I am linking up with my samples...and no laughing you....

  5. They look nice. I want to give this a try but too scared. LOL Going to try and make some hot pads and give it a try if I screw up that one just goes to some one I don't like so much.

  6. Hi Marjorie! these are great :) I loove the variegated thread you're using, it makes it more fun when you use it! a good tip I got from the Karen McTavish youtube vids is to draw the design on paper over and over, then its automated in your head what to do with you hands when you sit at the machine.. and it only wastes paper, not fabric ;) keep going! loving your swirly leaves.
