Echoes Today

Today on my machine quilting practicing I worked on echoes.


It amazes me how much better the feather (and other shapes) look with an echo.



and so the more the merrier -


I used 100% cotton Gutermann thread and a #70 jeans needle. The batting is wool.

Diane Gaudynski says to look at the space between the lines and not at the line you are sewing.
I wear quilting gloves when I quilt and I have found when I am doing this type of detail work I really use just my fingertips.
I am trying some quilting patterns that are from 365 Days of Free Motion Quilting too.

I hope you join my friend Wendy and I in sewing everyday for the month of April.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
