2012 FMQ Challenge

I´ve decided to work on my FMQ skills this year, and will try to keep up with the challenge at Insights from SewCalGal. The januari challenge was a leaf design taught by Frances Moore. After practicing the design on paper a number of times, this is my first atempt at sewing:

I have to say I´m plesantly surprised! My FMQ has never looked this good on a first try...ever... There´s still the issue of stitchlength, I have a problem with speed/motion, but I feel it will work itself out given enough practice. I really enjoyed this design, and I would recomend this tutorial to anyone who wants to learn.

I decided not to do the sampler, but try to use the designs for things I´m sewing anyway. Sooo...in time this will become a couple of zippered puches...maybe I´ll find the time later this week=)



Anyway, I really enjoyed the first month of the FMQ Challenge, and I´m exited to see what February will bring=)

Take care,
