Feeling a bit like Christmas



I have some very trusting Clients, I often get quilt tops in the post and have simple instructions to choose light custom or freemotion all over or digitised designs. These two quilts came down from Edinburgh in the post.


This quilt has modern Christmas fabric charm squares. The outer white frame I quilted with 'molar feathers', the middle white frame has ' molar feathers and the occasional holly leaf and the middle white frame has holly leaves and curls, I practice my freemotion quilting with a little drawing to get me going....
I'm linking this post up with Bonnie Hunter's Christmas quilt linky party 2014 at Quiltville

Merry Christmas from Scotland



Although not strictly a Christmas quilt this quilt with coneflowers is in a lovely, cosy flannel fabric, I chose a digitised daisy design that had the look of coneflowers. The backing was pieced in quarters and although I will tell my clients that I can't guarantee to get it perfectly centred, I was secretly thrilled that it was perfect with very little effort....that doesn't always happen!

  3. These are pretty. :) Hmmm....Your holly border is giving me ideas finally for a border that's been driving me nuts regarding what to do there.
