after last week's slump and being able to laugh at my flowers, it was much easier to convince myself to knock out the last week of stitching practice. i tried a few new things that i saw lisa attempt once she started her own free motion challenge at the start of feburary, and while they look mostly like what they were supposed to, they totally weren't my jam. aka the bows. but anyways. i have officially completed the 21 days of free motioning, and this upcoming saturday is my next class on the subject matter. here's this final week of blocks:
2/1
i've come to find i like the wandering all over styles, such as pebbling & the double drip.
if i was continue this even longer, i'd probably try and figure out how to make my loops and flowers look a little more randomly wandery. if that is even a thing. throwing some extra loops in between totally helped out, but i am still hoping to one day feel confident in my all over "doodling" if you will. or maybe i'll just keep my training wheels on with pantographs for a little bit longer.
stipple. yeah, it threw off my groove for sure. it put me in a mindset of aiming for perfection instead of just going with the groove.
can't remember if i've said it before, but i don't feel that i will be quilting anything major on my machine with these skills, but as always, being able to have a skill and not use it is better than not at all.
but there you have it, the conclusion of my 21 days of free motion quilting fun!
i'll be sure to update you on whatever adventures happen from this weekend's class with jenny lyon!
I think my favorite is the last one with all the mash up at the end.
