Your FMQ abilities are amazing! I’ve just started to learn FMQ and cannot imagine doing something like this!
Hi Diana, thank you so much, I just started FMQ as well! I purchased the Machine Quilting course on Craftsy (and a new sewing machine) just before Xmas. Good luck, you can do it!
Your quilting is amazing! Such a cute cushion cover!
Thanks P! You know what they say about practice, my husband doesn’t see me on the weekends anymore.
Beautiful, you have convinced me that I need to start ordering fabric from the US. Your FMQ is great you must Love doing it.
At least try it once Natalie, I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed. However, what really scares me is that I haven’t received a bill from the Government yet for the taxes. I shudder to think what that’s going to be!
I sn’t know what FMQ is, but this is beautiful!
Hi Donna, FMQ is Free Motion Quilting. You can visit Leah Day’s site for more information: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/
Thanks! I guess I was having a “duh” moment. Your work is beautiful.
Uhm – don’t -
This looks lovely, I’m sure it will sell very quickly! Good luck!
Thanks so much Karen, I’ve added you to my Google reader, I love your creations, phenomenal!
oh I love this, your quilting is beautiful !!!
Thank you Kath, it’s a labour of love and not unusual to spend 13 hours on a single cushion cover. I just put on NetFlix and get lost.
Absolutely beautiful the detail on your quilting is amazing.
Thanks Amanda, I couldn’t imagine doing a full size quilt with this much detail but you never know! ;D
Wow. Your work is stunning! I am enjoying your photos of your projects.
Thank you HPsauce. There’s so much more I have yet to accomplish in quilting, my piecing needs work!
Hi Tabatha,
If you’re looking for more AURIfil thread, let me know. I’m a Canadian distributor living in Ottawa and I’m always happy to ship thread. I carry ALL 252 colours in all four weights of cotton and also carry all 240 colours of the polyester and 184 colours of the wool thread.
Fantastic Mari, thanks for letting me know, I wouldn’t mind trying some 40wt thread, I really love a chunky look and I look looking at stitches. I think it comes from my days making shirts and top stitching.
If you like a chunky look you would REALLY like the 28 wt cotton! I use it on all my customer quilts and they are always so pleased to be able to see all the stitching that they have paid for. The AURIfil threads also have such a radiance to them that the stitches they make are lovely to look at.
Hi Mari, I sent you an email about Aurifil, did you get it?
Yes, and I responded.
Darn, please try to send it again, I didn’t receive your email. bendingpins (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks!
maravilloso acolchado felicidades
Great job, love your quilting and quilt design.
Oooo!! I love it! FUN first project on TGIFF.
Yeah, I’ve really enjoyed the Aurifil thread when I’ve used it. I’m switching over to it completely as my colors run out. I always get a disappointed “oh, yeah. . . ” moment when I’m using “old” threads now, and the lint builds up fast again in the undercarriage. I haven’t tried the 28 weight – sounds like if my machine will work with it, it’d be perfect for a particular portion of a special UFO coming up in a couple of months.
Tabatha, this is gorgeous and your FMQ is stunning! I love that you used different motifs — it’s like you fmq’ed a scene in the background. Love it! Better get a move on on that binding though because I don’t think it’ll last long in your Etsy shop.
Congrats!
that’s gorgeous – a beautuful finish
Tabitha = this is just beautiful. Gorgeous quilting – stunning!!!
Wow, I’m absolutely speechless! I love everyting about it, the applications, the quilting, it’s just wonderful.

It’s great! Your quilting is beautiful
Wow! I love it! It’s so fun to look at, as there are all kinds of little surprises in the quilting. Very, very nice
Your quilting looks fantastic! Beautiful work!
Okay I just stumbled upon your website and so happy I did! I will be laying in bed thinking about that gorgeous set of mushrooms and laybugs and your crazy-amazing FMQ’ing for WEEKS – I swear! I JUST started a blog myself. I am a fellow Canadian and am feeling very lonely out here in my small town of BC! There is not one person my age who is interested in my kinda quilting – thus the blog! I need to “purge” somehow right?! I even joined the local Quilter’s Guild, but those sweet grannies just don’t get my style! Anyways, enough whining… thanx for the FABULOUS eye candy… hitting “follow!”
Awe, thanks Keitha! I had a great time creating this cushion top but because I have such a short attention span, I keep jumping around from project to project and idea to idea. Maybe because I find quilting so exciting? Who’d have thought?
I think once you start looking around on other websites, you’ll find more people in your area. I know there aren’t very many “young” quilters in my area, most are retired and the stores cater to them.
THANKS for commenting and introducing yourself, great to meet you!!
