I am so excited to be a part of the Seaside Adventure Row Along!
Let me introduce myself to those not familiar with my work.
I am Linda, the creative force behind Linda Bratten Creations where I design patterns, workbooks and make presentations.
While I embrace art quilting, I began my quilting journey making traditional quilts.

| This is a small segment of My Fantasy Garden quilt. |
I am a National Educator with Baby Lock where I get to share my love of the Baby Lock machines and their accessories with others.
I am also an online instructor with Craftsy.
Not only do I have my own free-motion quilting class, but I was also selected as one of their top eleven instructors in this fun class.
When I found out the theme of this year's Row Along I was very excited. My favorite vacations have been taken on the beach. Thus, I had plenty of inspiration to work with.
I gave a nod to my traditional roots by starting with an ocean wave block.
I re-designed it a bit to make it a foundation paper piecing block.
Then I added a fun applique to the center.
It was great to work with the Northcott Fabrics from their Stonehenge Collection to create this great block!
I love the way my Baby Lock sewing machine created this smooth satin applique.

Enjoy this year's Seaside Adventure Row Along!
Your block is really lovely, and I really like the appliqued center.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you for your beautiful block. You did a great job on the satin stitches. I thought that it was machine embroidery. I am so sad to hear of the passing of Marion. I have done her Row a long in Florida for several years. I have a ton of row kits from all the shops that i visited.
ReplyDeleteSharon, I too was sad to lose such a creative force in the quilting world. She will be missed. If you want to know more of how I like to machine applique, visit my Linda Bratten Creations Facebook page. Check out the videos tab, I have done several Facebook lives about applique with your sewing machine.
