I started with a very cool piece of fabric for the background and hand appliqued this circle to represent the moon.
Next, the tree was drawn using a Sharpie marker onto some water soluble film
It was backed with stabilizer, then put into a hoop
and following the directions.........the free motion stitching has begun.
More to come

Do you drop your feed dogs or do you have one of those machines that has a piece you put over them so they don't grip? Just curious.
Oh very interesting - I'll be watching for the follow up
Your tree will be gorgeous. Wonderful week to you...
Exciting - I'm looking forward to seeing how you are filling in the colour!
What a tease! I was excited looking at the different stages! Can't wait to see and I'm guessing it's going to be WONDERFUL!!
once again you have got my mind running - I'd never thought to do the drawing on water soluble film. Genius! This will open all kinds of doors.
looks beautiful...
Where can I get these instructions??

Just discovered your blog! You are just about the most talented art quilter I have visited who also has the ability to be a very good instructor. I just went through your Picasa photos and was in awe with your work. I'm going to dig through all your old blogs and get myself up to speed on learning and following.
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Hugs from Mary
