Works in Progress-
I thought I would share just a little of what I have been up to recently-
I have some other things up my sleeve but as they are for secret swaps and other purposes,
I can't show them yet!

I wanted to have a go at the New York Beauty block.
This one is foundation pieced and I have used it to make a placemat.
I am doing some hand quilting on it at the moment.
And this is another one-
I'm not sure whether I will keep them or make one or the other part of a future 'giveaway'.
And it really was time to practise my Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) again!
SO I 'bit the bullet' and this is the result-
I tried out some spirals and some 'bubbles'!
(For those who know my flick'r name will get a bit of laugh from that one!)
Not great, but not too bad for a short ten minute session?
I'm going to keep practising because it will make a big difference to being able to finish more pieces off.
Then they can go from WIPS to FINISH!
Happy sewing-
SUZ

Those blocks are beautiful. I like that you try things in such different color combinations.
Oh I love the New York Beauty blocks!!! Can't wait to see the entire piece! Lovely
Hi Suz - you are so brave. I would never show a photo of my free motion practices - LOL. I don't think I can say it's getting any better, but I don't do it every day like they say to.
I love the Mac Sleeve of a few days ago. Did you have a tutorial or pattern?

Wowee, they look tricky (the blocks). I shudder to think what my attempt at FMQ would look like. Will have to try it one day when I need a good laugh!
No matter what you do with these, they are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
