Free Motion Quilting Challenge, Academy of Quilting, & Shop Hopping Florida Style

Above is my practice piece for the Free Motion Quilting Challenge January tutorial.  It has been a long time since I've done leaves.  I would like to thank Frances Moore  for a wonderful tutorial.

Want to learn more about quilting online?  I found the
Academy of Quilting!
Ruth is the teacher and owner of this web site.  The upcoming classes look great and best of all--you don't have to leave your sewing room to join in all the fun!

Above is a picture of a favorite quilt shop in Zephyrhills, Florida called Quilter's Quarters.  My Mom and I've visited this quilt shop the last few times I've been in Florida and it's always a pleasure doing business.  There are many samples in this store and my Mom had made a Diamond's Jubilee quilt because of the wonderful sample that was hanging on the wall last year.

Another must great quilt shop that I really enjoy stopping by is Quilts on Plum Lane located in Dade City.  They even let me take a picture of this vintage Singer sewing machine.  This store also has wonderful samples hanging up for inspiration.  Thank you for the great visit!

I'm running out of time so I will post more on my Florida adventures!

Happy Quilting!

Friday Night Sew In Results

I did my Friday Sew In early because I'm out of town.  My quilt club is doing a block of the month this year and this is my first block.  These are these fabrics that I'm planning on using.  I have so much Christmas fabric that I think it's a good idea to start using it up.

 I am also making a donation quilt along with my sister's 4H quilters.  Please stop by Jenny's Blog to see our future quilters.  It's great seeing the next generation quilting and sewing.

There are borders to add to this quilt.  I will have more pictures of this quilt as time goes on.  

Happy Quilting!
