[@GeoWhiz287]

Those are some very clever and appealing variations! Thanks!

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Glad you like them! Welcome :)

The pen and paper helps to get that design from your mind to your hand before you go to the machine. It works.

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Fantastic, ... It's like a road map

[@gageiger]

I think you are an amazing coach/teacher!

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Wow, thank you! Please join us at the next, Quilt Conversations LIVE! It's here on the channel, 1st and 3rd Friday of each month. We are currently going through the Quilting Master Class. Here are the replays kzbin.info/aero/PL6q1ijVlWPwaGbx9ropaUVjNjxTs7OdtL

Love that backtracking is not necessary. 🎉

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Cool! Glad you like the designs without backtracking

[@carolanngager1458]

Yes, yes, yes! I am very rule driven, so this tutorial was helpful in showing me I MAKE THE RULES! Thank you!

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

You are so welcome!

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

By the way, You sound like you are a perfect fit for the Alphabet Design Free Motion course.. We start with "rules" then learn how to break them to create our own designs. courses.livingwaterquilter.com/courses/alphabet-design

[@morganosborne9258]

I love that last spiral. I have a HST quilt called Woven that wants the sections in the front of the weave to be framed and those crossing behind to be denser. that last spiral would be real niice texture there.

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Spirals are so fun! it's nice to have designs to match our quilts

[@BonnieInBama]

Miss Geraldine, thank you for making such helpful videos that demonstrate realistic, DOABLE designs for beginner free motion quilters!

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Hello Bonnie, :) You are very welcome! Glad to know the FMQ patterns are "doable".

[@mrob8918]

Good ideas. Saved for future reference. Thanks.

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Glad it was helpful! It's nice to have a library of designs to reference when needed. :)

Just what I was looking for! This is so approachable for using a home machine. Thank you for showing us something other than feathers. I make a lot of geometric/modern quilt tops and needed this inspiration for home quilting.

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Glad it was helpful! I was so excited about this spiral series, I created a class. It's a featured class at the American Quilter's Society Grand Rapids, MI in Sept. ! I am so EXCITED. Just in case you are in the area, I thought I would share it with you. These designs are just the beginning. :) www.americanquilter.com/quiltweek/instructor/view/eventid/28/instructorid/142

[@Cassandra-..-]

@@LivingWaterQuilter Thank you! I had to chuckle - I’m in WA state but originally from MI. Last year, I was visiting friends in Kalamazoo and my (non-quilter) host took me to the AQS show in Grand Rapids! I’ll miss it this year, though, and I’m especially sorry to miss your class. Edit: Oh! Your clambake class designs would totally match two quilts I’m working on! 😍

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

WOW, it's a small world. You have a thoughtful friend! I am sorry you will miss AQS this year. How cool is that, the clam shell ruler has so many fun designs. :)

[@MBHacres]

Just learning, thanks for the inspiration

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

Glad to hear you like them!

I've only been quilting for a short time, but it turns out, with my Janome M7, which I purchased so I could both quilt and free-hand topstitch, I'm a natural at free-hand. I've actually, on paper, devised some of your designs on paper (we must think alike), but I haven't yet trasposed them to a quilt. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm going to learn so much from you! Thank you for sharing your design free-hand quilting techniques. I know I'll be utilizing them.

[@eleanorwittering3126]

My lifelong friend became a quilter 30/35 years ago (she went into Home Economics back in the day to teach, so, obviously is an exceptional quilter). Ironically, I have excelled her ability at free-hand topstitching (I'm thinking it comes from my teaching days of making fabulous bulletin boards, which I discovered, I did better with scissors than drawing)-- and, now she's sending me her quilts to free-hand (from Vermont to Oregon--and, of course, back again)! (Her quilts are so easy to free-hand because there are no ripples or bumps in her quilts, it's like having this beautiful canvas to play on!) So, I will be utilizing your channel frequently. Again, thank you-- AND, I will give you credit when I use one of your designs.

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

I am excited for you! It is thrilling to know you have a quilting technique that comes naturally and you enjoy it.

[@LivingWaterQuilter]

I am glad you are able to help your friend. Friends and a supportive quilting community are keys to helping us grow. Did you know I have a LIVE show here in KZbin? It's the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month at 7pm (EST). Join this week Friday Sept 2nd. We have fun chatting about quilting and more.
