What was your inspiration?

I love Patsy Thompson's work and was inspired by her free motion machine quilting. Her DVD's are so thorough that they make it look easy. Sure enough, it was great fun to stitch out the quilting designs without the restrictions of pre-drawn patterns.

What are you most proud of?

The machine quilting!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Relax and enjoy the quilting process. "Mistakes" will only spark creativity to make the outcome even better.

I did use varied threads, but most if the quilting was done using rayon or poly. If you go to Patsy Thompson's web site which I think is PatsyThompsonDesigns, there is information available about her techniques, threads, etc. Her blog is great.
