Anything Goes Monday

stitch by stitch

I am so excited to be the guest host today for the Anything Goes Mondays linky party! When I first started quilting 2 years ago, I stumbled upon Marelize's blog, Stitch by Stitch, and have followed her ever since. Her free motion quilting was just stunning and when I learned that she does it all on her domestic sewing machine it made me even more determined to quilt my own projects.

As a relative newbie to quilting I'm eager to learn everything I can which is why I have a growing list of projects that I want to tackle. Many of my them are smaller ones like bags, thread catchers, and placemats. These allowed me to practice free motion quilting with greater confidence.

I really like wall hangings and want to make some minis for my sewing room in the near future. Again, smaller projects give me the opportunity to try new things. My favorite, Spinning Stars, got me comfortable with partial seams and stippling.

Probably the most complicated quilt top that I've made so far is the one I did for the Aiming for Accuracy Quilt-Along. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Now I just need to figure out how to quilt it.

Lastly, I need to introduce you to my faithful furry assistant, Oliver. He loves to be in my sewing room with me.

Okay, enough about me, now it's your turn! What have you been working on this week?

Rules:
1. Link up ANY recent blog posts, it can be one or more, but PLEASE do not share blog posts you might have linked up in the past.
2. Somewhere in your blog post, you must link back here to my blog, OR grab the Anything Goes button for your sidebar (found on the sidebar of the Stitch by Stitch blog)
3. Try to visit at least a few of the other blogs linked, the whole point of having a party is to connect, share and maybe get a few more followers...remember to leave a comment to let them know you stopped by!

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I love hearing from my readers. I typically respond directly to your email unless it's an answer that I think everyone would be interested in hearing. If you are a no-reply blogger (and I know that blogger does not play nice with other blogging platforms!), I will reply directly on my website. Thanks for stopping by!
