Marion said...

Happy Birthday, Geta

I like your quilting tips tutorial. I also discovered that free motion quilting is easier when "holding a fold" with the right hand. I do keep my hand on top though so that the excess is held away by the side of my hand against the machine.

Such beautiful detail in a small quilt. Love the green/white! Greta,if a reader without a blog can have a chance to win,please enter my name.
