This was also my first experience of using verigated thread and I think im addicted, I love love love it.
So now I just want to practice, practice, practice, especially by trying out some different designs. I have been following Leah and her Free Motion Quilting Project for a while (her designs are fantastic), so now I think I have the confidence to actually try some of them out.Philippa was lovely, and such a good teacher, she even signed a copy of her book that I bought
Thought I should also show you the fabrics that I have bought in the last couple of weeks (very naughty but I couldn't resist!
Firstly my lovely Monaluna fabric, aren't these prints scrummy? And they are organic!
I first saw this range when Megan posted about it on Quiltstory, she was asking what she should make with hers. I suggested pyjamas and bed linen for her boys and then realised that I wanted to use these fabrics to make them for my two boys.
A few days after mine arrived I noticed that Cindy had got some too, I think this fabric is going to be pretty popular, can't wait to see what Cindy does with hers.
Also bought:
Spots for my stash
White Waffle
Stars
And finally I got these lovely snuggly flannelettes to make a Retro 70's inspired baby quilt for the pram. Think I will practice my FMQing on this one

Loving those monaluna prints they are scrummy.
I love the fmq in the variegated thread! So pretty. Thanks for mentioning Phillipa Naylor. I love new ideas on FMQ, I follow Leah Day as well.
I so wish I could take a FMQ class like you. What a great way to learn! You're off to a great start :)
I don't have a plan for my monaluna yet, but I am nearly tempted to go back for the bear and birds before starting anything! They're adorable :)
Wonderful FMQ and it looks great in that variegated thread!
