This week you're invited to watch 2 YouTube videos that cover
- A little more about clouds -- and a marking exercise
- FMQ a couple of the balloons with a Swirly "V" and Echo Stitching
Note: when watching the videos be sure to view on a device that allows you to see the embedded annotations. There is a lot of useful information included via annotation.
Before we get into the Part V video series here is an image of the upper right hand corner Bee once quilted. I used the same plan as outlined in Part IV:
Aurifil 50Wt thread #2600 Dove
Free Motion pebbles along the flying path
Echo Stitching around everything to create movement
I LOVE the way it finishes!!
Now let's get started with the Part V video series:
Note: Woohoo!!
We're up to 10 videos so far in the 2016 FMQ Along!
Be sure to watch the 8 prior videos before taking this lesson.
Each new one builds upon skills learned in previous videos.
See the entire list of videos here.
In this video I share some marking and stitching options for quilting another cloud.

In this video I share a simple Swirly "V" motif and repeat some echo quilting on the balloons.
I love the way the balloon and bee quilted!
I would love to see your progress!

FMQ Motif Quilting - Swirly "V" and Echo Balloon Quilting
In this video I share a simple Swirly "V" motif and repeat some echo quilting on the balloons.
I must give credit to my friend Wendy Sheppard for inspiring the Swirly V's motif.
I learned this sweet motif from Wendy's tutorials and her online Annie's course.

Here are a few still images from this lesson:
Before quilting the balloons I changed thread color
from Aurifil 50Wt #2600 Dove
to Aurifil 50Wt #1231 Spring Green
for the top and bobbin thread.

This balloon was simple and fun -- the whimsical approach worked perfectly!

PS - Don't forget about the huge sale now through 2/29 for Aurifil Thread, Kits & Designer Fabrics.
If you've thought it too expensive to invest in Aurifil 12Wt and 50Wt threads -- these prices are the lowest I've ever seen -- and I'm a pretty fussy deal finder ;)
