This year at CQI we have a monthly challenge. It goes as far as we want to take it. One of the pieces of the challenge this month is curves! I LOVE curves!! BUT....I haven't been able to do them on the machine! After MUCH wandering and guidance and trepidation... I finally sat down at my machine and we reached a truce!!! I have the basic idea down now of how to do this! Now i'll have to actually PLAN a block so I can utilize it my new skill! LOL!! I'm not usually much of a planner because that opens the door a crack to my inner critic that i'm ALWAYS trying to shove away! But.... I have one idea I would like to try so I think i'll map it out, dye some fabric (that bit is necessary for this idea to work) and then try and piece. Now....to find the fabric! LOL!!

Take a Stitch Tuesday
Welcome to my crazy cq'd world! I chat about current projects both in my embroidery business and my leisure cq'd world! Mostly I just muse about my passion for embroidery and crazy quilting a mile high in the sky, throwing in tidbits on my fur kids or outragoues weather annomolies and machine embroidery projects on the home front!

Lovely curves Leslie--you done good, girl! Lynn, SoCal
That's a great curvy piece! I think it just takes a little practice. After doing a bunch of wedding ring blocks to help out two friends, I found it worked much easier! =)
Hello Leslie, It is a wonderful curved block, Leslie, Just beautiful. Hugs Judy
Care to tell us how to do those fabulous curves? A long time ago I too tried to do them on the machine, but then couldn't fold back the fabric correctly and gave up...
your curves are beautiful! You did an awesome job. Care to share your secrets???:)
HUGZ:)

Hopefully you'll feel the need to share your tips with us! I think this one is pretty and would be beautiful with seam treatments!!
