I started on 12-inch quilt sandwiches and worked my way up to table runners, etc. I still have not attempted a full size quilt, but once I have saved enough $$ for my HQ Sweet 16 or Baby Lock Tiara that will all change. I am not very creative with anything free-hand. As a matter of fact, any attempt at drawing looks like kindergarten work. Soooo, my FMQ is limited to a meandering stippling stitch. I occasionally throw in a little new moon kind of thingie but that is about it. I love looking at your pictures. Your little Gracen is a picture of beauty. She is one lucky little girl to be surrounded by such a loving, Christian family. I am glad we are friends!<br />Rhonda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715896851800992269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167218720967523674.post-17781912415690007582012-12-29T14:12:27.814-08:002012-12-29T14:12:27.814-08:00I am just sitting her drooling!
