    I totally understand having a quilt in process on the wall while you admire and contemplate future work with it.

    I try to have many projects at various stages of completion going at once so I can choose the project that best fits my time, energy or focus at any given time. It also allows that stepping back and savoring the process on some while doing quick projects for a sense of completion.

  2. I can't figure out how to link a page. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Leah's quilt is beautiful. I have been making projects for friends and I need to get back to my own fmq. It has been so long since I have done it I am afraid to start again

    She's beautiful Leah, Thanks so much for sharing her with us!

  4. Like you Leah, I find I do best when I am working on the next exhibition quilt AND doing practice pieces. That is why I so much appreciate your assignments over the past 18 months. They give me the excuse to play with zero pressure. Then there is the added bonus that my skills improve, making the pressure cooker feel of an exhibition quilt less stressful.

  5. I dared to start free motion quilting thanks to your numerous videos… and the fabulous supreme slider!
    Thank you Leah!
    Amitiés de France,
    Katell
