Still "on the road" and design inspiration is everywhere.

This new Free Motion Quilting Design was inspired by a performance by a world champion Hoop Dancer that I had the privilege to watch.
Different things appear to different people in the ever changing pattern of the hoops as the dancer moves throughout the dance.

The same is true with Free Motion Quilting Designs and the reason that it is so much fun to have you name the designs that I create.

This design was named "Chain Gang" by popular vote (Facebook and Instagram) on Sunday, Oct 13 2019 at 6:00PM (Pacific).
