BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL is all I can say for that you did a wonderful job .

If this is the result of "practice" I think it's time to graduate to something bigger. Good grief, this is lovely!

Awesome practice piece, it looks like the real thing to me. You did a great job, and you should keep it.

Ditto on beautiful, awesome, outstanding, exquisite. You are dramatic proof that practice does pay. I am a practice queen around here, and gets lots of teasing about always practicing, but yours is incentive and motivation to keep on keeping on with my practice.

Was this done with a domestic desk top machine or mid/long arm?
Just gorgeous.:thumbup:

Wow, if that is a practice piece, I should just stop trying to perfect FMQ right now. I couldn't do that after 200 hours of practice.

No wonder you're smiling. It's beautiful.

@Nancy. Don't give up! Everyone advises sketching but people who don't draw are aprehensive. I was because I'm not an artist but it really helped. My crappy little sketches started looking like art and made it so much easier to take it to the machine when the time came. You'll build muscle memory plus learn how to avoid pitfalls.

@Susan. Just a domestic machine. A cheap one at that.

You did a wonderful job. It is like a piece of art.

Criminey! If I could do half that well I would be happy. I think you can safely say you have mastered FMQ! Gorgeous!
