So I decided to do a small "Charisma Curl" design around the snowman...after I outlined all of her applique.....and I stippled everything else. there will be a lot going on and I didn't want to take away from anything.
I quilted everything freehand on my INNOVA...no computer or pantograph quilting.
Thanks for looking

You did a great job as always on the quilting. And these snow-people are adorable!!! They look like the snowmen from the Calvin cartoons.........you know.... maybe stressed and a bit worried if Calvin is around? :D
