Peggy had me quilt these 4 fun little Christmas quilts. One for each of her adult children and one for herself. They have seen the quilt tops, so I'm not spoiling any surprises here. :)
This first one I did free-motion feathers. I used a Holiday variegated thread which really turned out nice with her festive colors.
The back.
Quilt #2...
...and the back. The quilting on this one goes along with the design in one of the light fabrics.
Quilt #3 was curly-Q's and holly leaves. See where I got the idea for curly-Q's??
And #4 was loops and holly leaves.
These were the last quilts I did on my old longarm machine. That's right- I purchased a new longarm about a month ago! (I'm really good at keeping this blog up to date huh?) It's a Nolting Fun Quilter 20". I think I have finally gotten to the point where I'm comfortable with it. It takes a while to get used to the feel of a different machine- much like driving a different car. Perhaps I will share my new machine with you in another post. But for now, I have more holiday quilting to do!
