Thanks for the comments on my last little piece! I was encouraged to try a bit more tree sketching. I have never thought I was any good at drawing so it was a bit scary to try sketching at the machine without a pattern or anything to follow. But since I was working on small scraps of fabric and batting, I didn’t have anything to lose but time. This is what I ended up with:

Here are closeups:



I used light blue thread for the trees ( because it was already in the machine
) and again finished the edges with silver paint. Looks like it is time for me to clean my cutting mat! The sizes are in the 4 1/2 to 6″ range.
Until next time….

I think you did a nice job on your free motion trees.
