Practice....Practice....are you kidding! Pumpkinpatchquilter you are a natural....I could practice 'til the cows come home and my fingers drop off and no way could I produce something half as good. Thanks for sharing with us and reminding us all the whizz bang machines in the world aren't necessary to produce beautiful work.

Is there a book that shows how to do this? or is it your own idea?

These were my own design but there is MUCH inspiration to be found looking at show quilts from the big shows and on the blogs.

The only thing I find hard to do on a domestic is LONG sweeping flowing feathers...for me once they get to a certain size they start to look odd...REALLY looking forward to the additional space on my new long arm!
