I took a quick break from my longarming business to make a small wallhanging to send my son who is in a war zone right now. The fabric has Marine Corps motifs and the patches are from several of the his units. I micro-stippled the red areas so the compass points would stand out. The gold background was quilted with straight lined radiating out from the compass. The border was just meandered. I used Pellon Legacy cotton batting with Pellon Legacy wool batting on top and several different threads. I quilted this on my wonderful Prodigy quilting machine. Thanks for looking.

Thank you all for your compliments and prayers for Jonathan. He is scheduled to be back soon. Can't wait because I hope I get to go to Hawaii to see him:)
