I love the bloggers quilt festival! It's so much fun to look at every quilt and get ideas for the coming six months.
Here's my entry:
I made this quilt for a friend having a baby boy. It was a really good project to try out new stuff. This was the first time I've quilted shapes using my machine. I was astonished at how easy it was to do--
- First I found clip art online.
- I printed it out and then cut out the shape.
- Using a water-soluble marker, I traced the pattern onto the fabric.
- Then I quilted the pattern using free motion quilting
- The stippling helps to give each design added depth
- Then I sprayed the markings with water to make them disappear

Wow! That's gorgeous! I absolutely love it! You are so talented in so many ways!
Holy smokes, that's a gorgeous quilt. You have quite the talent!
I am still waiting for time to try quilting. Well, and space to have a sewing machine out regularly :)
You should look into the Magic Quilt project that I'm part of. We just picked Stan Tolman as our first recipient with quilts #2 and #3 currently in the works.
