    Default A Holly Jolly Christmas...quilted by Charisma

    Well Felicia gave me a mission if I chose to accept it:

    Make this Jolly!


    She felt that it didn't seem much like a Christmas quilt.....the fabrics actually are very festive..they are Mary Englebright ..Great Fabrics and pattern.
    So I used continuous curves in the chain, and holly and ribbons in the centers...then I quilted in festive Christmas words in the white border with ribbons.

    I think it looks very Jolly!

    Thanks so much!

    "Oh, by gosh, by golly
    It's time for mistletoe and holly
    Fancy ties an' granny's pies
    An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
    As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you."

    What more can I say? Way above and beyond what I was able to envision for this quilt. You work wonders.

    Thanks C. :=)

    So beautiful. Never underestimate Charismah. She will always make it beautiful. She just has a way with that machine.
