AkBelles sent me this beauty! I was so in love with it I bought the pattern myself! It's probably hard to see..but the edges of the trees are 3-D..turned over and sewed down in a cathedral windows technique.
The name of the pattern is called "Spring into Christmas" ..by a local pattern author in Alaska.

Ak wanted pebbling around the trees....all the other quilting is fairly simple to just make those trees pop out. I outlines the holly in the border ...very nice quilt.

I quilted this all freehand on my INNOVA> I used HObbs polydown batting.

Thanks for looking.

Awesome You always do such a good job quilting them

OH WOW!!! A beauty by you both.

Beautiful quilt by both you and the piecer! I love all the pebbles. Do you use your regular handles on you Innova or micro handles for the pebbling?

Gorgeous!!!! I've never seen the cathedral window technique used that way -- very unique!!! As always, I absolutely LOVE your quilting!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Absolutely beautiful. The pebbling makes me think of snow.

I see what you mean! I love that pattern too! Love the pebbles and what you did in the border. Just beautiful work.

Nice Job!

I use my regular handles....I actually have the micro handles but I have never used them. LOL

Awesome quilt. Love the way you quilted to get the trees to pop.
