Spacious Beauty

  "Spacious Beauty"  24"x 24" Freemotion foot spirals and space rocks! QCRuler pattern from One Wonderful Curve  by  SewKindofWonderful Linking up with  Elm Street Quilts   Not only did I finish in the nick of time but I used scraps on the back (some of my favorites I might add) and I put a label and hanging corners. Done and Done!   I love all the bright colors in this. The corners and print wedges were from the same fabric. Yummy and bright! I have been trying to practice more freemotion and more than just straight lines which is my go to.  I have done walking foot spirals before but this one is all freemotion so I could add my space rocks in. I just played and I think it is pretty good. I have some wobbles and longish stitches but overall happy. This baby I think will go in my new sewing space because of the color alone.  Original One monthy goal post  HERE   Also linking up with Sarah @ Midweek Makers/Quilt Fabrications

I am practicing freemotion quilting with Jess @Quilty Habit so maybe I can do some on this little project.  I forgot to mention on my goal finish link that I was also successful at wearing yoga clothes everyday at some point, and completed 31 days of yoga exercises for back and hips. I am amazed at how many more movements I can do. Working on knees and other parts as I cruise on into Feb.  And I actually read or listened to 11 books. It feels good to have my concentration working a bit better to be able to do this again.  I used to read a ton of books and health issues took that away. I particpated in my local library m
