These are really just doodling with your sewing machine. The best tip I ever heard was to practice doodling on a piece of paper before heading to the machine, this gets the design in your brain first.
Loops are a great design to add to other designs.
Butterflies.
These are pretty small.
They make a great over all design with loops.
This mini quilt can be seen here.
Holly leaves, the loops become berries (I noticed that the arrows are in the reverse direction, hopefully you will figure it out).
Any size works well.
These are bigger.
This Christmas tree skirt can be seen here.
Candle wick leaves and loops.
Leaves or Hearts.
Dragonflies and loops.
Candle wick leaves make a great border design. As with the loops, they look good in opposite directions.
The possibilities are endless in machine quilting!
Remember to use the correct needle for the thread being used and try slowing down. I do a better job when I wear quilting gloves (rubber gloves work in a pinch).
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!! ♥

Fantastic work! I love your leaves. They look like philodendron leaves or hearts. You do nice work.
Hi Joanne! I'm not a quilter but I have really been enjoying your posts this week. You make this look so simple...and it looks absolutely lovely. Do you draw the pattern on the quilt before you sew it or do you just "go for it"? Very nice work!!!
XOXO,
Cyndi
Great job!
You are becoming a good teacher!! I think I will start with the loops. I was going to try the meandering, but will take your suggestion.
All your quilting looks great.
Blessings,
