Absolutely beautiful embroidery blocks. So happy you figured out how to do your shadowing. I am still struggling with FMQ on my domestic. I finally found that if I use (children's) news print pads and print my pattern on the paper as lightly as possible, that I am good to go. I only do simple FMQ nothing intricate as I am still "a beginner" in that area. I am also grateful for all of the replies.
