“J” is for Juggler, part 2

Here is my Mr. Juggler all stitched up.

I’m having just a bit of an issue with my new Janome for free motion quilting. My stitches are a bit jerky. You can see how they are out of whack on the back of this piece:

I’ve got to fiddle with the machine’s tension, maybe get a Supreme Slider, and practice! Even so, I do love Mr. Juggler. He is an illustration by Pam Holland used in the workshop I took from her June 21st at Cotton Corner in Shipshewanna, IN. He might be turning in to a pillow, not sure yet. I’m thinking prairie points and pompoms would suit him.

Last week’s quilt show in Shipshewanna was a blast! What a fun get away with several friends!

This week I have to get to that bridesmaid dress and hem for my daughter. That, and playing with some new purchases from the quilt show is all I’m putting on my To-Do Tuesday list.

I’m linking to To-Do Tuesday and Linky Tuesday.

    Juggler. LOVE it! I might’ve mentioned that before.
    Okay, what is a supreme slider?

    The only wedding item I’m making this year is an embroidery with their names and dates on it. And I’m actually having a friend do it on her embroidery machine. It’s a nice feeling, being able to watch from the sidelines. ;)

    You are a lucky lady to spend time learning from Pam. As soon as I saw your juggler I knew it was a Pam design. You did a great job.

    Sharon, you did an amazing job! I’ve never tried to draw with my needle. Your juggler looks surreal! Pom poms and prairie points would be perfect!

    That juggler is fun, must be fun to fmq, at least when your problems with your Janome are solved. I hope your daughters dress will be a beauty!!
