Today my summer holidays started! (ok I do still have to write two papers) So I have finally time to enjoy my presents - I tried my first free motion quilting with my new machine on a cover for an e-book reader. It's everything but perfect.
I had a lot of fun trying different designs and making my own pattern and figure out where to put the batting and where the cardboard. I completely forgot that I woudl need some sort of closure. Took me some thinking to think about using the buttons to sew on the tape at the same time ...
As it was a trial piece I didn't think I should - well woudl need to - bast the whole thing. So the stripy fabric became a partly curvey fabric.
Hmm yeah I will have to work on those leaves - and on the backstitiching over previous stitching can't have tree stems wher eIjust want to have branches ...
Pebbles are nice - but I don't think I have the necessary patence for them - the spirals do have my interest though - I als tried some stipling but well it's very irregular ...
