I'm glad you like the colors and design, and you're right about Scandinavian, which I had not thought of. This is all the more special because this baby is very connected with my Grandma Olive, who was Swedish (born in Chicago though).<br /><br />And with a name like Ingrid, are you Scandinavian? :)<br /><br />But wow wow double wow that you and your family traveled to those cities, and on the railroad. Goodness gracious my eyes are popping out of my head!! Of all the places to go, very unusual! I'd love to know more ...Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048020455098091620.post-34833848674478295342014-02-02T12:40:54.762-05:002014-02-02T12:40:54.762-05:00I have experimented unsuccessfully with a free mot...I have experimented unsuccessfully with a free motion foot. My samples are a mess. However, my Mother is a master at free motion quilting and she loves it. I think I just need to practice more. I wanted to tell you that your color and print choices make me think of Scandinavian design-so light and airy.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying learning from 'Nomadic Days and Nights'. When I was newly graduated from college, my family went with a group of Social Studies teachers to Central Asia and Outer Mongolia. We spent several days each in Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent and traveled to Ulaanbaatar on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. We still reminisce and laugh about that adventure!

And of course you and I know that <i>we</i> are very fortunate to have this love of family in our lives, and this special way to express it. Thank you for affirming the walking foot. I can't wait to use it! I wonder if you have used a free motion foot? The header quilt is James's, one I only got halfway through because of my hands. I'd like to finish it with curvy lines on the machine, and I'm hoping the free motion foot will make that easier!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048020455098091620.post-84277602802215007072014-02-02T11:27:19.742-05:002014-02-02T11:27:19.742-05:00Ruth-I love your quilt.

I have made quilts for the grandchildren as they mature and it's such fun tailoring the designs and pattern to their individual interests and personalities. You will LOVE your walking foot-it makes machine quilting very gratifying. I'm enjoying your new sites. Ingrid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
