This is what I am doing today. Lots of stippling and the occassional flower thrown in. This is just a practise peice as I haven't done any free form quilting for ages! So I sat down this afternoon, Milly was at her FDC, Grace was kicking back on the couch watching Barbie's version of Swan Lake, after a hard morning at school. Don't even get me started on Barbie and her take on Swan Lake! The rigid animation! The corny voices! But the music, *sigh* it is beautiful and every time Barbie started to dance Grace got off the couch and started pirouetted across the room. But back to the quilting.... It is wonky in places, but I am hoping that the quilt it goes on, it will be less noticeable than on the white here. la la la la, practise makes perfect hey? Here's hoping!

That is gorgeous Helen! I wish I could quilt like that!
Great quilting! You mentioned it's just practise, but is it just a scrap, or will it end up as a quilt? I'd be pretty happy with that effort! My thread keeps breaking with free-motion quilting, so I get put off stippling as that's when it is worst.
Your quilting looks great - love the idea of large flowers amougst the stippling :)
I love it. It doesn't look wonky to me ... at all ... and I love the thread.
GOOD ON YOU HELEN!!! I am such a chicken, I've never tried it!
And I'm so glad you didn't unpick your blue with yellow quilt - it looks great and it's your pattern, right?
How's Grace enjoying school? What a big girl!
Lovely quilting -- I need to do more of that practicing myself. Maybe then I can do something more than straight lines :0). Grace looks so grown up in her uniform -- hope she is enjoying school!
I wish I lived in Perth - I could do with stippling lessons. Hmph, if you think your quilting is wonky I don't think I'll ever blog mine! ;)
Grace is so gorgeous in her school uniform - and you look so proud in the photos - teary but proud! x
Oooh, looking nice!
