Unfortunately this fabric is no longer at the
Attic Window Quilt Shop. I can’t remember when I purchased it, but I know it was a while ago. I love the fabric and have been saving it for that special project.
I have wanted to make a sewing machine cover for a while, and finally decided to kill two birds with one stone. I’d practice my FMQ on this fabric and then make it into a cover for my sewing machine. I liked the idea of making it into a cover because then I’d get to look at this beautiful fabric every day. However, I won’t look too closely at the FMQ. I need lots of practice.
As I continued practicing on each block, I did get better.
I still have some control issues. But I’ll keep practicing.
When I ran out of blocks I made this cover for my machine. I love it!
Look, it even dresses up the back of my chair when I’m sewing. What fun. The next time you are in a fabric shop, look for something that you can use to practice your FMQ. Having something on the fabric as a guide when you FMQ really helps.

Oh, I just love it Caroll! It's great! Such a bright and cheery cover! So good to see you today. Sorry I wasn't the best company. I was so tired, and Elsa was getting crabby. I'm sure she didn't sleep much last night. Sometime we need to go out for lunch so we can just have a quiet talk!
Love it!! So bright, cheery, and fun! What a great way to practice FMQ and make something fun and useful. Love it! Thank you for sharing and for the great tutorial.
Have a super great sewing and stitching day!!
You are amazing - this is gorgeous!
