As usual, true to form, I had other things that needed to be done but I veered off course again.
I remembered that I had sandwiched a quilt a good while back. I am blushing at the fact that it was so far back I can't remember and and...and...I haven't quilted it yet.
I definitely need more practice but boy is this fun!! I will show you the front when I am finished.
I am so excited, I feel like that little puppy when he sees his master and wets himself. I will have three sons home this week-end. One son will stay for almost a week...... I think some depends are in order.....HA!!!!

I'm trying to work up enthusiasm to put my Birdie sts, quilt on my frame but the frame is set up in the garage and it's a cold day
I think it looks great! Enjoy those boys of yours.
Looking good! Freehand or with a patern drawn at the top?
Giving in to the "hankers" is good. I'm pretty sure the boys will keep you hopping while they are home :0)

Lovely! I'm planning some FMQ practice this weekend too. Doing the FMQ Challenge so I need to get busy!!!!
Enjoy those boys!
Enjoy your house full!
as a beginner FMQer, I am studying your picture!! Can you tell me, do you stop and start each pattern set or is it continuous? It looks great!
The free motion is beautiful. Have a fun time with your boys!
Your stitches are really nice, Barb. Enjoy the family time!
:-}pokey
Inspiring FMQ! Boy, Barb, I am wowed! I signed up for an FMQ Challenge. I think I will get right on that after seeing your beautiful quilting!
Thanks!
You're too funny! Have a fabulous time visiting with the boys.
Love the FMQ!!!!
Ohhhh you do beautiful FMQ girl. Ok...now you've inspired me...I promise before the weekend ends...I'll have done some FMQ and I have my practice sandwiches all ready to go too.

Oh! Beautiful quilting! You do such a nice job!
I am trying to stay focused and get a few things finished, but I might get sidetracked too, because FMQ is just so much fun.
Nicely done!
xo -E
Enjoy the boys!!
Barb I keep trying to machine quilt but I just get over whelmed. I can do small things like place mats and runners but when it comes to quilts I just can't cope. Any advice? I also have joined FMQ Challenge but it just doesn't prepare me for large quilts. What size needle do you use, and what type batting? Anyway yours is lovely and I am just envious . Blessings
I love how round your loops are. Mine are always jerky. Great job!
Wow your FMQ is looking really good. I am impressed!
I looks great Barb! Way to go! I know about that have to, need to - want to thing. I have a hard time doing what I need to do.....
Nice stitching - enjoy the boys!
Wow. What a beautiful FMQ design. Great job Barb. I'm going to give this a try. Love it.

I am going to make my first quilt sandwich and get going on the heart leaves for the FMQ Challenge. It looks like fun.
Pretty design...anxious to see the quilt front that it is all for!
If that's the back of your quilt, the front will be award winning ;-)
very pretty Barb, can't wait to see the front.
Lovely quilting! Me thinks you may need to come down here and practice on some tops! haha! Enjoy your boys!
Hugs,
Lola
