Doesn't that make it a 'Q' rather than an 'O with a tail'?

Lorchen, Glad you like the scotch mug rug. My husband has a Glenmorangie glass just like yours! He enjoyed the Talisker when we/he were scotch tasting in Scotland last year.

I received a lovely mug rug and special goodies from Lorchen! Beautiful cross stitch, a quilt bag, and pen and some hot chocolate! I love it all. Also, a very special notecard with Lorchen's art on it.

This is such fun!!!

Renata,
That quilting pattern is free-hand circles with a little "tail" inside the circle, then on to the next one. I think I saw it on a YouTube video and wanted to give it a try. Circles I can do pretty well but after that it's aaaccckkkkkk, so any little addition to the circles makes me happy. Stippling doesn't go from my brain to my hands as I always want to cross the lines, so this works well as a filler or on small projects.
