It's not a purchased pattern, I designed the combination of patterns by myself by using one stencil, freehand quilting and of course some rulers for the grids etc. I love to use traditional british quilting patterns that I find on pictures of quilts in books. Normally you can't buy these patterns in ready-to-use stencils, you have to draw them by yourself and make stencils or templates out of it. For small patterns like little feathers or leaves I often use freehand quilting and freehand drawing. This is not so difficult like it looks like! Skills improve the longer you use it.
I am not a very patient person I must admit. But I am ambitious and it is always a big challenge for me to finish a quilt. I love to touch them, to look at the structures and I am very thankful and happy that I have the talent to do it.
