Quilting designs, and NOT shopping

I wanted to show some quilting examples that I thought were easy to quilt on a DSM. Quilters who use a DSM, cannot make (well, I can't) long sweeping movements - our designs need to be somewhat smaller. This is one that works for me. This dark green fabric sucks up the light - I'm surprised it's viewable. It starts in the corner as 2-3 shells, then just curves nicely to fit the space, and echoes back.

I learned this one recently -- called something like FERNS. They can be large or small, again filling the space.

I LIKE my quilting -- but it's fairly utilitarian, and one day, I would like to reach to a higher level of proficiency on my DSM. Friday, I'm taking a MQ'ing class with Nebraska teacher Sandi McMillan. Hope I learn lots of new techniques.

Different subject - Monday was so beautiful and I wanted to go ... uhhhh somewhere, yet didn't have any reason to. Ah hah!, I'm starting a black/white quilt and really need to get more fabric and take a long drive to my LQS! But I was sensible and forced myself to check my own stash. uhhhh what do you think? Do I have enough already?
How embarrassing! I don't even remember purchasing, nor HAVING it!
