I looooove fairy tale fabrics and I'm learning to love free motion quilting. I'm definitely a beginner and sometimes get myself stuck in a corner or move too fast taking my stitch with me but thankfully keira doesn't have a critical eye!!!!! And practise makes perfect so I just need to practise!
I made this quilt top a few years ago and it has been sitting patiently just waiting for me to finish it off!
I also made the top before I got too precious about my older fairy tale fabrics....I find it very hard to cut into them at the moment!

It looks fantastic Corrie. I dont think I would be any good at trying the free motion sewing although Isabelle has been asking me to make her a quilt. I find it a bit daunting but my sister does make lots of them, mostly by hand though and it takes years to do. I am sure Miss Keira will love hers too when it is finished. You will be able to get lots of practice when you make one for Miss Tillie and Master Finn!
Your quilting looks great. It does take a bit of practice. Love the fabrics too, I can see why you are attached to them.
Hi there Corrie. I love the quilt! It looks really nicely done! Well done! Raewyn x
I think your quilting looks great.
I especially like the added loopy bits and little flowers here and there.
Andi :-)
That looks great Corrie. I want to try free motion quilting but am not sure how to start, did you take a class or just read stuff online and give it a go?
Keria's going to love it!
Looks great Corrie
The quilting looks fantastic!
Beautiful quilt, free motion quilting is another skill I want to learn, a very valuable one I think.
Corrie! It's fabulous! Love love love it! Mmmmmm thinking I need to do more fairytale fabric shopping....!! xox
It's beautiful!!! You've done a great job.
It's lovely Corrie those fabrics are really pretty!
WOW! Looks amazing Corrie, I MUST give free-motion a try. Maybe I'll start with a pot holder or something else very small.
Oh, it's gorgeous. And it's for your little girl? I bet she will love it. I know my little girl would!
So cute!! Adorable fabric!! It looks great! I need to learn how to do the free motion quilting, but I am just trying out machine quilting so I am starting with straight lines for now!!
Those fabrics are yummie and I think you will enjoy them more in a quilt in the end! Love the quilting, just keep practicing, it is fun!
Beautiful work, you do gorgeous freestyle, not sure why you hesitate with your confidence with this style, you are really very good. Love Posie
