Each year I have started the free motion quilting from Helen Godden from Australia.
( emphasize the word START, as all are not finished.)
Here is the link to her introductory version for this year. This is the email image taken by camera. You will not to find it on youtube.
Link to her website to download free pattern for this:
Again it is free. You need to order it from her website and I pdf file will be sent to your email.
I have done this in previous years. No emails or other information sent for promotions.
The video shows how she traced it. ( I like the use of the ruler for straight lines.)
I did use a Fine Sharpie Marker. It bled a little on my fabric at the beginning and end of the lines.
I don't know if it was my fabric choice.
I did choose to paint it using a textile medium and q-tips as the triangles were quite smallish.
(My good paint brushes were given to the grandkids.)

I just purchased the fabric medium in a small bottle next to the acrylic paints.
After all the painting is through
The green was metallic.
Now there are videos for 24 days of Christmas to practice the free motion designs in the spaces, one posted each day. I am already behind as the 9th one has been posted.
But I hope to catch up this week.
There are several other Christmas designs that are still free, if you are so interested: a Nutcracker, a poinsettia, a different Christmas tree last year. The videos are free online still. And you can also get the patterns to trace.
I so love hearing her voice with the down under accent. Helen Godden is quite talented and has visited the U. S. She also has completed a huge mural about Australia. She uses Lumiere paints and has other classes online as well.
