A moment to draw (if not to stitch) on my way to teach at CreativFestival Toronto.
As I was on the plane and waiting for take off it seemed like a good time for another flying creature!

We seem to be keeping with a bit of a name theme for our butterfly designs.

Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #135


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).

Thank you and congratulations to Nancy Carscadden Phillips of Nanaimo B.C. for suggesting this winning name.

Thank you and congratulations to Nancy Carscadden Phillips of
Nanaimo B.C. for suggesting this winning name!
