Still reading Libby Lehman’s book and want to try more of her techniques.
I cut 3 circles from freezer paper and ironed them onto the left over background fabric. Everything is stabilised with Tearaway, and pooped into a hoop. Dark blue thread outlined each circle and then the freezer paper patterns were removed.

Free motion zigzagged on 2 quarters of the circles. Changed colour and stitched the other quarters, trying to stitch dense at the edges and more open towards the middle.
Using the twin needle and the widest width and shortest length – chose orange thread and red thread. I really like the effect of a ribbon curving through the worked. Changed the threads to dark and light green and curved a line through the orange/red ribbon. Changed the threads again! To dark / light blue and curved that around too. Had to reduce the tension a little (3.5). Changed to a single thread needle, and with variegated brown/orange/yellow meandered this to join up with the red ribbon. Important to use the hoop to prevent tunnelling on the satin stitch.
