March FMQ Challenge
Well, I left it to the last minute (see my last post!), and finally yesterday I started on my SewCalGal FMQ Challenge piece for March. I was at a bit of a loss as to what direction to take until I read this blog yesterday. Pat had stitched up an amazing design and then painted it. I was inspired! After re-reading Ann Fahl's tutorial, our amazing March expert, I realized the object of the month was to practice, naturally, but to also try something new, and then I was going to use her fill designs to complete the piece.

Sandwiched some navy blue fabric and batting, and started stitching.
Unfortunately, I ran out of bobbin thread and time, and since I'm at a workshop all day to day, I probably won't get any further with this today, and tomorrow is April, and time for a new challenge. I do want to finish this one up, as so far, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I may or may not follow Pat's lead and add some paint!

This quilting is gorgeous!
I wanted to say "Hi, nice to meet you." I found your blog through the Needle and Thread Network, and I became your 150th follower. I love a good Canadian blog. Keep up the good work.
You must finish that March piece. It is looking amazing. I had planned to do the practice each month. So far. Zero, nada, zilch, none. (Hanging head in shame)
Wow, stunning work! Love your FMQ Challenge piece-surely you will finish it?!

What gorgeous quilting and what a perfect interpretation of the folk art design! You know me, I would probably paint, because that is what I do, but I don't think I could bear to do anything to your perfect quilting!
Gorgeous quilting!
