Default My Official First FMQ on longarm

Lots of firsts! Never took a class before! It was so much fun! After creating the face, it must then be matchstick quilted, After that, black thread is used to outline main features. I wasn't sure that I wanted black thread as my first attempt, but I just dug in and went for it. I got better at outlining by the end. I need a wooden dowel to hang her up without safety pins! Next time I'll use steam-a-seam like some others used. Miracle product!
