  FREE MOTION FRIDAY!

Happy Friday peeps!

P1040321This is a design that I have been trying to figure out how to make work for two years. Since I first started longarming. I think it looks awesome, but for the life of me, I could not figure it out. So, while you're probably smarter than me and could figure it out no problem, in case you can't, here we go.

1So, I start with a swirl,

2

Then swirl back out.

3

Then an echo around the swirl -- this is important -- this echo closes off the swirl so we don't get lost inside said swirl.

4

Then one more echo.

5

Which I then fill with bubbles. When I was trying to figure this out, I would start bubbling before the echoing, and then I would get lost with my bubble inside the swirl, going and going and going...

6

Then, one more echo to finish of the swirl. Sometimes I do more than one echo after the bubbles, particularly if I am trying to get to a certain spot. But I always make sure to have at least one.

7Then, on to the next swirl,

8echoed,

9bubbled & echoed again,

10And so on and so forth. I think it makes a pretty awesome looking texture on a quilt. An is a lot of fun to quilt too :D

Later days! Kathleen.
