I was looking through some pictures from 2006, early in my digital camera experience, and came across this one I photographed that year, along with a few others. This little quilt was made in 2002.
Seeing it reminded me of how long it has been since I have quilted anything larger than a postcard! Two years, I think. I need to find my creativity again.
"All Thumbs" Del Thomas 2002 14" x 14"
Cotton scraps, fabric markers, beads, cotton batting.
Machine pieced and quilted, FMQ.
The FMQ is my "floppy flower" design using dark red thread.
I made another version with autumn colors that I donated as a Monthly Mini to a guild I belonged to.

I felt like I was all thumbs when I was trying to learn to free motion quilt. But the "secret" I learned is that I have to keep in practice (which I haven't) in order to do any kind of a decent job. I wonder if I am going to have to learn all over again.... when the creativity returns.

Adorable! Love the bracelet on the wrist. And you are so right---you have to stay in practice.
This quilt is so cute!! Rayna will get your creative juices going again!!!
I love your sense of humor. You need to unleash some more of this creativity.
I do hope you'll start just a 12" x 12" perhaps for St. Paddy's day. xo
