I have found that drawing and designing can be fun and feel a little more confident about using the materials I have collected but have been reluctant to use. The mark-making exercise in Chapter 8 was great fun, once I got started. I think I am much more adventurous with colour now and am moving away from my old favourites to a brighter, more vivid palette. Having the opportunity to use a wide selection of threads to create effects is a skill I think I am developing. I need to practise free stitching to get the speed of hand and machine a little more coordinated, especially when not using a hoop. I find satin difficut to control this way.
I hope this is easier to see.

This is me, stitching the colour circle in Chapter 5
I'm not sure what to do about the last box on the checklist!
