My Creative Space
Have been practicing my free motion quilting. I first tried this on Saturday. Forgetting to switch to the darning foot was not a good start! I’m getting a little better. It all goes awry when I actually think about it; seems to work much better when I switch off my brain – which makes it just about the perfect activity for me right now!
Kirsty set us a challenge to include heart(s) in our creative spaces today. Uh… no prizes for finding mine 
(But click for a bigger pic if you need to). That was fun!
PS: There are two! (But they’re kinda the same)

I found it, I found it! I love your quilting, it’s fantastic. Can it only be done with the darning foot??

Free motion quilting is tricky, but once you get it you’ll be flying!!

The quilting looks great. I imagine it would be hard to just let it flow.

There are actually 3 hearts on your space, if you count the scissors. They are roughly a heart shape, and we all love our scissors, don’t we? Then the two tiny sewn ones. : )
