That is so pretty.

Great Christmas quilt.

I really like that! It has a whimsical, primitive look. Fabrics are great!

Beautiful!

I'm very new to machine appliqué so I apologize if this seems silly......the items you appliquéd.....did you place them on top of the fabric and then just stitch them down? If so, what type of stitch did you use to keep the edges of the item from unraveling? I tried to zoom on your photo and I can't tell.

My head is afraid to do this on a quilt figuring the items would unravel and the quilting may pick up the edges of the items.

Thanks!

Ginger, I used Soft Fuse, a blanket stitch, and coordinating thread. The technique was taught to me by Pat Holly and Sue Nickels at a retreat. They showed a quilt that had been washed gently a number of times and was still lovely. PS, I have had even redwork embroidery quilted in an all over design by a long arm quilter and they did not catch any of my threads.

I figured since they won so many awards, it must be something to try. I love to do it. I use a Bernina and the stitch width and length was set at 2.0. Easy to vary however to get longer bites or a more satin like stitch.

I am not going to use this on a bed. It will probably go on the wall or the back of a sofa.

My sister is into this style of wall hanging she'd love it, I think I would probably have to make it as close to yours as possible. Unfortunately not enough time for it as the season is upon us. Maybe next year. Love your quilt exactly the way you made it. Happy Holidays!

Cute Christmas quilt. I think it will add a lot to the festivities at your house for this season and lots of seasons to come. There are so many interesting things to see in it.

Wow! That's alot of detail! Really pretty quilt!!!

great job
