September Free Motion Challenge

 

This month's FM challenge was presented by Paula Reid, and I really hoped it would include some trapunto, but it didn't.  The challenge was very similar to the one presented by Don Linn a few months ago, I used the technique he taught to transfer the design to my fabric (like I'm sure a lot of others did).

 

Instead if spending money on the bats that Paula used, I found a piece of rubbermaid shelf protector and cut a small piece off.

  

This worked really well, I didn't even need my gloves for quilting this small piece.  This idea wasn't mine, I had seen it a couple of years ago on some other blog.

  

 Anyway, here is my finished challenge piece, the thread I used was a buttery yellow Aurifil 50 weight, and I used a green chalk pen to transfer my design.  Once it's washed out, the yellow should should up better!
