Mariner's Compass 15x15

I made this small compass as practice for another quilt but didn’t use it. When I took a machine quilting class from Maurine Noble, I sectioned it into 8 parts and then did a different quilting stitch in each section. All of the sections but one, the cross hatch, was done free motion. I was just not brave enough to do that without a guide. Maurine’s class was a cross roads for my machine quilting. Prior to her class I sort of dabbled at it, but after the class I got serious or just had a better grasp of the process and have been able to do it better.

Name: quilter99755

Location: Idaho

Currently I live in Idaho, but was a resident of Alaska for 32 years. I learned to quilt mostly by mistakes, magazines and books. But through the Denali Quilters Guild I was able to take wonderful classes, participate in exercises and challenges that expanded my level of expertise and interests. I have been quilting for 30 plus years, but not exclusively. It took me a while to realize that quilting was the only art/craft that I wanted to do. I have two daughters and a wonderful husband, but none share my interest in quilting other than receiving quilts. But I have high hopes for their futures as both are crafters and I feel that one day they too will get the quilting bug. Now that I am in Idaho I have discovered gardening, but quilting will never be at the bottom of my list of hobbies.
