Drawing

I think I’m going to load a Chinese Coins top next and rather than using my Swirls template again, I might quilt it freehand…..so first I’m drawing…

Because I have no natural drawing ability (don’t laugh at my drawings!), I fill pages and pages in my sketchbooks before I even think about trying to quilt something. How about you? How adventuresome are you with freemotion quilting and do you draw designs first? A few times? Or over and over like I have to? I have a theory that naturally artistic people are better quilters.
