I have seen a lot of stippling by Kellie at
Don't Look Now and wished I could do it. I have avoided stippling in fear of failing. I finally bit the bullet and had a go with a bib I made out of the
fun fabric I bought from AQC. I was actually impressed with myself. I have booked myself into a machine stippling etc class just so I can learn from an expert rather than re invent the wheel. That will be in May.
I was surprised I had to keep the dog feeds up. SO I am not so sure how people do such lovely small stippling with large quilts... I guess I will learn at the class. Any hints and lessons from you?
Shoe pattern was from
Star Dust Shoes. Do you think the little one will like it when he comes out?

They look fabulous Sarah, you did a great job... love how your shoes turned out too!
Good on you Sarah! ... the feed dogs need to be down though ... I hope I never told you to keep them up! Practice & practice you will be an expert in no time!
I'm impressed! I have no idea how to stipple...

Good on you Sarah, I would love to be able to stipple also but need to get big hunks of practise. I absolutely adore those little bootees, so cute!

Love the wee shoes your stippling looks good. you must be having such fun preparing for your new little one.
Clever girl....Im sure Master Chocolate will love his new shoes!! Cathyx
Nice job! Umm... I always have the feed dogs down when I stipple. I love the tiny shoes!
Feed dogs up? Interesting. It looks great. Did you have to spin the item to make the curves? Can't do that with a large quilt. Get yourself some stippling gloves with good grippers on the fingertips (it's like having power steering), then drop those dogs and have at it. You can do large quilts this way because the fabric doesn't have to move so much, in fact, small stipples are easier than large stipples on an ordinary sewing machine. Don't mind me, I just LOVE to stipple!
Happy stippling,
Susan

If that is the first time you did this kind of quilting - then you are very talented! I love the little shoes and the fabric you used!
You clever thing you! How cute are those little shoes?
Very, very cute. Good on you for tackling stippling. I'm still trying to learn.
