sunset when we had a fire one afternoon...............
Danni was teaching and I had a great time.............
First day I did an orange peel workshop..........I choose some scraps from my box to play with as I was undecided if I wanted to machine or hand stitch..........I choose machine..........
The mountains looked amazing...........those green crops on the left were so vibrant............
The second day I did free motion quilting..........
I tried a few things but I did best at rulers late in the day...........I will keep trying though............
I am completely zoned out when trying to get the pattern in my head to FMQ...........
