Machine quilting at home is a skill that grows with every quilt you make. I’m sharing the lessons I learned while quilting my Cloud Surfing quilt on a domestic sewing machine, including planning quilting lines, working with a guide bar, basting, lighting and learning to embrace the imperfect parts along the way. #MachineQuilting #DomesticMachineQuilting #QuiltingTips #ModernQuilting #QuiltingAtHome

Machine quilting at home takes practice! See what I learned quilting my Cloud Surfing quilt, from planning and basting to building confidence one line at a time.

This finished Cloud Surfing quilt is proof that unexpected colours can create the most joyful results. Olive Oil yellow-green, bold fuchsia, rich teal, and soft blue come together in a modern curved quilt filled with movement, texture, and personality.
