A couple months ago I decided to go all out and buy a new sewing machine! I bought this fabulous Pfaff 720 Quilt Expression edition and I love it! I am still getting the hang of it and learning all the features, but I am really loving the free motion quilting feature. This machine was bought at Rocky Mountain Sew & Vacuum, at their store in Littleton.
For the past few months I have been practicing a little bit of improv quilting. I learned how to improv quilt at a meeting with The Denver Quilt Guild, and also watched a few YouTube Tutorials. It definitely can be quite difficult and stubborn, but I feel like I am getting the hang of it. I have mostly been making wavy lines and circular improv, and made a couple new quilted wall hangings.
The second quilt below, is another mini quilt I made doing improv quilting. I wanted this quilt to resemble mountains during a sunset. I also practiced free motion quilting on these two quilts. No super fancy stitching yet, I feel I need more practice with free motion quilting on smaller quilts before I start working on the bigger quilts.
Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!
