They’re with my box of experimental items – readily at hand to explore free motion/walking foot quilting. You know, scrap batting and fabrics, deco threads. I set it up so I could easily grab a smallish quilt sandwich to hone skills as I ‘felt’ like it. Half the trouble is gathering those items, ya know? I don’t feel confident enough to just place an entire quilt under the needle for all over machine quilting…
I’ll be revisiting that fun box closer to the time when deciding on designs and threads to use in machine quilting the lime green/ivorian fabric wall hanging I showed you.
Thanks for checking out this post!

Cindy, what a compliment coming from one so gifted in the quilting (he)arts. Thank you.

I’ll bet one of your creations involved old jeans, especially the pockets! (spoken by one who dun-it back then, too!)
😉

I had no idea one could use that walking foot in so many different machine quilting applications! I especially like doing that wavy line – kind of a controlled version of free motion quilting. I’ve fooled around with free motion quilting and yep, it’s challenging! I’ve read about something called a stitch regulator attachment that’s supposed to help…
Thanks for the kudos, bud!

I made a few quilts many years ago in my hippy days

That bee fabric is delightful; something about bee prints truly thrills me. The meaning behind this piece demands reflection, but your work provides the time necessary for consideration. I also like your walking foot samplers, hehehe; how did you find using that attachment? I tried my free motion foot recently, and boy, that’s going to take some real practice, HAH!
Well done, my friend! Definitely piquing and priming, as well as soothing….
