The precise 1/4 seam was the hardest for me. I had fun trying a lot of your designs on squares assembled into a baby quilt. Lot of mistakes, but not seem by the recipient. I told myself "I don't do ripping" as I stitched several placemats. No one sees the mistakes expecially when plates cover them. A fun way to practice and have a finished useable project instead of quilted scraps. Even those become coasters. I am looking forward to trying harder designs. Keep up your great inspirational designs. your site is the first I look at on my computer every day.Roberta Jehnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03262087991478287440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-65083543115575901632011-07-09T09:25:45.327-04:002011-07-09T09:25:45.327-04:00I like yor work, it is beautiful.I need to do some...I like yor work, it is beautiful.I need to do some interesting<br />Josefina<br />tijerasycuchara.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-21886706922584762652011-07-09T00:28:29.178-04:002011-07-09T00:28:29.178-04:00This is definitely something I'm struggling wi...This is definitely something I'm struggling with. I need to SLOW down. I'm stitching too fast, at a frenzied pace and that's causing me problems. I've got a baby quilt that I've marked my lines on, usually I just free motion it. This will be a great exercise in slowing down, hitting the lines accurately and attempting to maintain a consistent stitch length. Of course, I haven't made life any easier and am using a contrasting variegated thread. I need to step out of my comfort zone! <br /><br />I really appreciate these words of yours: <br /><br />In essence - ripping out the bad stitches will only ever make you good at ripping! Keep quilting in order to get good at travel stitching <br /><br />Thanks!<br />MicheleMishkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430743905175844858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-46915460433895741362011-07-08T15:45:16.123-04:002011-07-08T15:45:16.123-04:00Leah, this whole blog project is just awesome!!!
