This is the last of the designs from the repeat patterns from the wood carvings. It is interesting that when I started on each series of designs I thought I might get one or two from them. Now I find the different designs are endless. I may revisit this again before the end but this is it for this theme.
I look this design and then started playing around in my drawing program.
I finished up with this. It was very thread intensive, I had to fill the bobbin 5 times.
Since beginning this series I find that wood carving is to be found in countries around the world and the designs all have a lot it common. I feel a lot happier with my free motion work, although there is still a lot of room for improvement.
It's fabulous honey, how did you do the drawing...? it looks like you did it in the computer.?

Hi Pammy,
I have a drawing program called Easy Draw , a simple CAD technical drawing program for MAC. It isnt as complex as the Adobe program, not as expensive.
Love Carolyn

Thanks Robbie, I used aWonderfil ThreadcalledRazzle. It is a heavy rayon thread that I put onto the bobbin and is a 3ply thread. They have a great range of colours. It is just at the limit of what my Bernina bobbin can handle.

Gee thanks for that. Sometimes I feel that I should just put it all in the bin and then I improve, and I think I will keep at it.
