So true. I enjoy it and it does take practice practice practice. A lot of practice. But I don’t practice on a quilt so I am not nervous about ruining it. I am one of those that drawing a design doesn’t do anything for me. I have tried many times. Different moving a pen with my hand than moving a quilt under a needle. I can do more than stipple or meander. Sometimes feathers work for me but I am not a big fan of them for myself anyway so don’t use them
often or bother practicing them much. I watch a lot of videos for inspiration. I love Angela Walters and Leah day. Right now I’m pondering a design on a wall hanging. I do enjoy it and really like not spending several hundred dollars after I piece a top.
