Oh no...I can't do that...

Well, as it happens I can actually, thats right the much feared free motion quilting !
Ok to a professional it's probably not that good, but as my first proper attempt at quilting something using free motion I'm so pleased it turned out ok.
I suppose it's because it's a small piece it wasn't so daunting. When I have a large quilt I've spent ages on and lots of pennies on the fear of ruining it is so big that I often opt for an easier to unpick method of quilting.
So here it is, a cute little Kawaii cupcake mini quilt, free motion quilted and I put the entire binding on with the machine too...go me lol :)




This is for one of Hollie's friends, she could use it as a mug rug or as a little wall hanging. I love the little strips of washi tape holding it up, Miss Hollie has decided that washi tape is awesome and has nicked it !
I do have a roll left for my little giveaway though yay, I will try and get that organised this week.
I'm on a roll with new things too, this week I've started my first dresden plate too, it's so pretty and so much fun, I'll show you soon.
