I made place mats and coasters as a wedding gift. It got me dusting off my FMQ {free motion quilting} skills or lack there of. I experimented with thread brands and which of my machines did a better job. I ended up favoring my old faithful Bernina 1530 for the quilting and using Güterman machine quilting thread for this project. {Later this week I will post the birthday quilt I made over the weekend using Masterpiece thread. Pam had recommended the thread. It is very fine… so fine you can fill up your bobbin with gobs of it!}
Did I get pics of the coasters? Nope. Thought I did. Didn’t. Rats.
The fabrics are Freebird by Moda and some linen/cotton blend leftover from the Groom’s Hat I made.
Oh, and I thought glass head pins aren’t suppose to melt??
You’ll notice…over there, in the right side margin…the Process Pledge button…see it?
I, Robyn aka Coffee & Cotton, pledge to talk more about my processes, even when I can’t quite put them into words or be sure I’m being totally clear. I’m going to put my thinking and my gut feelings out there.

Oh my your pledge is quite brave! Love your placemats, hopefully they have inspired me because I need to make some for myself and what better way to practice free motion quilting…I need a lot of practice…
Love them Robyn! All of your work is great. I really like how you put the patterns together.

Your stipple is very nice. I wish I had that kind of control, mine is more impatient and all over the place – kinda like me.
