Are you ready for Christmas?  Some of my customers are already making the most of my longarm quilting service to get ready for the Christmas season.  This quilt pattern and fabric range is 'Flurry' by Kate Spain and was made by one my customers, Wendy.  Isn't it gorgeous?  I love the bright, modern Christmas fabric she has used for her quilt. This 'Flurry' quilt pattern is available for FREE as a PDF on the United Notions website. Kate Spain has a new Christmas holiday themed fabric range for Christmas 2015 called 'Jingle', which would work just a well.

With such a bold quilt design, the quilting needed to enhance it.  To keep the Christmas presents special I outlined each one with stitching and quilted each one with its own individual decoration.  The border was also given a custom quilting treatment.  To keep with the seasonal theme I quilted a pebble background filler in white thread so it looked like snow.  The quilting background texture also helped the presents stand out a bit more.  The wadding is 80/20.

Customers are starting to reserve long arm quilting slots in the lead up to Christmas as they prepare their quilted gifts for friends and family.  If you are making a quilt as a gift for Christmas that you would like me to quilt, please get in touch.
