    Default High Stepper! - Spring Festival Quilt

    I did this quilt as a demo of free motion quilting on a domestic machine for a Spring Festival in our town. I hand dyed the fabric then drew the horse in the center. People walked by and watched what I was doing and the most common comment was "I want a machine like that one that does everything for you!". They were a bit incredulous to learn the only thing my machine would do was a standard straight stitch. And that I was guiding the fabric. This was the 3rd time I've done this type of demo and I always enjoy hearing the comments and talking to people about my passion. I finished the quilt the next day at home.
