Terry in the ADK

I am making a wall hanging for a church fund raiser . It is a red truck panel from Hobby Lobby (it's on their web site). This needs to be quick. I am just sandwiching it and quilting it on my sitdown long arm. How do you suggest I do it? Ideas please. TIA

I’d use light grey thread and outline the truck and snowman to make them puff out more.

Then do a loose serpentine from the top to the edge of truck and to the top “edge of snow. Then meander lightly in the snow.

I bought a Christmas Panel from Hobby Lobby also. Be very interested to see how it comes out!

Thank you for that idea. Just so I am clear what is a serpentine stitch ? I am pretty sure I know meandering although I am not entirely sure the difference between meandering and stippling.
please anyone/ everyone clarify. TIA

Meandering is basically the same as stippling but typical a large scale.

Serpentine is a stitch common on modern machines. Simply a wavy line of multiple stitches (as opposed to a zig zag which is just one stitch).

I used it for the first time on this quilt, I got a bit too excited and liked the peaks on my test fabric. By the time I used it with the jelly beans and realized it was too sharp and I wasn't so happy it was too late to change my mind. Oh well, there's always next time!

I really like to do echo stitching for this type of panel. Then just do something complimentary for the background - like lines following the ground and cloud like lines in the sky.
