At the same time in the C&G...
My current assignment for Module 5 of the City and Guilds Level 2, Creative Techniques: Quilting, involves Free Motion Quilting (FMQ).. First there were exercises in my sketchbook:
The second one was a bit easier to do -- in part because I've done it before on fabric, and in part because now I was getting warmed up.
Now we had to try to fit a design around a central motif. See how the scale changes to accommodate the motif rather than detract from it?
This was another example of trying to scale a quilting design to a motif -- to create texture and interest without overwhelming the motif.

Although I may move on in the C&G (I think foundation piecing is next on the agenda), I'll be continuing with the FMQ Project, so stay tuned for new designs and photos of practice samples as I continue to learn and to "Polish the Process".
P.S. The following pieces in the 3F shop have been submitted for juries' consideration to up-coming exhibits:
"Nobody Here But Us" - 16.25" W x 13.75"L - for "Spaces & Places", the 2012 Biennial Exhibit of the Focus on Fibre Arts Association, Edmonton, Alberta
and...
for the Gallery at the 2012 Lacombe Art Show & Sale, running April 20 -22 at the Lacombe Memorial Centre:

Wow! What a catalog of stichery. I actually LOVED the heart one - that you thought was stiff - It felt very comfortable to me. but my goodness. I also really like the hay bales.
You have really been busy! Everything looks really good! I am just learning FMQ and at times it is a bit overwhelming. Happy Quilting! ~Jeanne
