Mini-Art Quilts

Last week I took my sweet little

Janome DC3050 sewing machine

to a Mini-Art Quilt class...

It was so much fun and best of all

I learned new skills on how

to use the embroidery stitches

on my machine!

Our fearless instructor, Brigitte

gently guided us me, the rookie,

through the steps of how to

create a sweet mini quilt - fabric art piece.

Each "art piece" started

to take shape as the 

class progressed.

Our machines whirred and

hummed, and the creations

began to take shape.

All the while I relaxed and

enjoyed the "there are no

wrongs" way of sewing!

I learned about bobbin thread,

how to properly thread the machine,

about using and adjusting

the many embroidery options,

and so much more!

The final project - finished at home,

turned out delightful.

I can imagine that this may be VERY addictive!

Brigitte has made many, many of these

wonderful little quilts and some

of them will surely soon appear for sale on

her awesome ETSY shop!
That is, if she can bear to part with them!
