I have been a member for some time but now is the time to start. The fabric is chosen and pressed now to make the quilt sandwich and really get started. I have the whole day to myself so hope to get lots done. Than you Jeanne for your generosity in posting these invaluable workshop/lessons they are really appreciated

Jeanne, This is my first video I am watching it is awesome. Thanks so much you make it easier than I thought. I can't wait to practice but I print it out and develop some muscle memory first. 😀😀

[@JeanneHarrison]

[@eileenmctravers5466]

Just joined so here goes Sunday morning! The lessons look awesome. Thank you to the time & energy in putting this together. Trying to find the sampler template. I'm a member of the group but having a few issues opening the link.

[@AWalkWithSusan]

When you are in the files make sure to click the show more button to locate the pdf file FMQ Sampler open it with Acrobat Reader (Adobe pdf) this was how I was able to open it.

[@cindymaki7540]

Well, it looks pretty good on paper, Jeanne

[@wilsonjacq]

This looked to difficult until I saw your demonstration. I can't wait to try it myself

[@JeanneHarrison]

Jacqueline Hatfield Every stitch is just mind over matter. Just take it apart and bit by bit you will see how easy the stitch can be. Good luck with it Jacqueline!

[@amadeus4313]

Can't wait to do this tonight!!

[@pamelaleitman9200]

I want to try this on my practice quilt.

[@JeanneHarrison]

Have fun!

[@phyllisadams7071]

Getting everything together to try. The Memory worksheet that you download, do you trace the petals on the paper with pen or pencil. Or trace it on your fabric?

[@JeanneHarrison]

You can use pen or pencil to trace it, or put it under your machine without bobbin and top thread and stitch through it.

[@judyhaberman6283]

where can I get the lesson plan and how to make the sampler ??? your videos are great but I need the lesson plan Judy
