Birds on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 402 of Free Motion Mavericks. I managed to find time to get a little bit of FMQ done yesterday. Today we are celebrating birds - the cute ones, not the Hitchcock ones

"Sharing the Process" - Part 2 from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

And finally, we sew! ... and notes about living in the moment.

A week ago on Sunday morning I headed into the studio, cleaned and oiled The Beaut, and started sewing.

Section A was first (obs), and I stitched verrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy slowly. I picked up a little bit of speed with Section B, and was sailing along by Section C. Not at max speed, mind you; more like, I know where I'm going and this is good.

Because it's paper piecing, it's all straight lines and no Y- or partial seams; and ...

Welcome to "Sharing the Process" - Part 1 from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

I finally started the center section of my Stitch & B!tch Sampler.

After completing the roadmap for the Sampler, it sat on the design wall for a month; we left for Myrtle Beach and spent a lovely 10 days there, and the remainder of my vacation was spent doing other things when we returned home. One of my favorite photos from trip:

My birthday was two weeks ago. The day before I spent getting a few more pieces of fabric for the background and a substitute for someone's clothing ...

Mallard Duck Mini Finish with Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Even without my favourite sewing machine, I was able to sew and quilt with the walking foot, my son's Mallard Duck mini. When I showed it to him, he said that he would find a spot for this one and the other two that I've made for him.

Finishing the Mallard Duck

As you saw in my Making a Mallard Duck Mini post, the foundation paper piecing went well. I always manage to make at least one piece that doesn't have enough selvage but I'm really good at problem solving

Modern Classic from Leftovers (Between the Blinds) from Sew Sunshine

This is the MQG modern classic makeover pattern by Diana Vandeyar called "Oblique" for the Feb 2017 issue.

I originally made the Chess on the Steps by Krista Hennebury. I named mine 'Strength and Beauty' HERE

I thought I could use additional fabrics in the composition with the specific ones the MQG listed but I don't think that is what they wanted. So with lots of leftovers I decided to see if I had enough fabric left to make another quilt.

I think I want to call mine "Between the Blinds"

Temperature Quilt 2020 from Janet Ann Creations

My Temperature Quilt 2020 is

inspired by two sources

Book: New York Beauties & Flying Geese by Carl Hentsch

and

Pattern: NY Beauty Mini Quilt by Better of Thread

The pattern fit my vision for the high / low temps of the day,

but the size was off for what I needed.

So I went old school!

took out some paper, started folding and drawing,

and came up with a size that worked for my project.

My fabric had already been precut to 2.5" squares -

Note to self:

solidify design choice before cutting fabrics!!
