I did it!

As some of you are aware I have been wanting to do some Free Motion quilting for some time . Last year I went to a workshop with Karen ." Free Motion for the Absolute Terrified" and I am afraid to say it took me this long to get over my fear even after the workshop...

I finally took the plunge and did a large piece (not a practice piece) Am I ever excited

I need a lot more practice to get my confidence but working on an actual project made it much more real and comfortable enough to do another one.
I am not terrified anymore. Anxious a bit... ??? Yes!
This Saturday the workshop at the Guild is Free Motion.....
