I planned on doing free motion quilting to outline Elsa and Anna but was at a loss for what to do over the snowflakes... I thought about diagonal lines. I considered stippling or loops and swirls. And then I searched youtube for a tutorial on free-motion snow flakes. I was convinced that I HAD to do them!
Off to my studio...
I am really excited with what I have started... the top left flake was my first attempt - really bad! Just figuring out what direction I wanted to working helped me. #2, just below the first one, improved, yet was too close to the first one... #3 is still not perfect, but something I would be able to live with.
While I realize I have soooooooooooooo far to go with improving my skills as a free-motion quilter, I no longer fret over some imperfections in the stitching.
Sometimes you just have to face your fear! So go ahead... jump in... You can do it!
