FMQ for Christmas
 

Good morning all! I've been working on a series of 5 "O'Tannenbaum" wall hangings for Christmas, and have the first one ready to share with you.

This is my own original pattern, paper pieced, and FMQ'd on my DSM (Juki TL98Q), using all metallic threads from Superior Threads. The wall hanging measures 16" x 25". I still need to put a silver finish on a dowel and prepare a cord for hanging and then this one will be done!

Enjoy!

The pictures don't show the metallic thread very well and the colors seem to be just a bit off, but you get the idea...

WOW. That is beautiful. Love the tree but the quilting is just super. Can't wait to see the rest. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

wow

nice FM

nice

That is so beautiful. You do wonderful work.

Fabulous quilting and I love the colors. Please continue to post the rest - I can't wait!!

The quilting is absolutely fabulous!!! I just love your tree design but the creativity of the quilting takes it over the top. Very inspiring projects!

Love it! Please share others when done!

Wow... that is absolutely amazing! One question...for a quilt...how do you do that much close FMQ and still keep the quilt soft and cuddly? I have done meandering and the quilt was so stiff...you couldn't even wrap up in it nicely. I have tried a thicker but softer batting but still..the FMQ makes the quilt so stiff.not quite a bad but still, not soft and cuddly. Any suggestions?\ on how to make that happen or what to do/not to do to achieve it? Appreciate any tips!

How absolutely Gorgeous!!! In a hundred years I couldn't FMQ like you do. I shall hold my breath until you post more.

Your wall hanging is beautiful! Excellent job all around!

beautifully done!

That is spectacular quilt, pattern and quilting.

OOPS! I just noticed that I posted an overall view of one wall hanging, and detailed shots from another!:p

Here's the right one (I hope).

I would love to buy that pp pattern from you if you ever decide to sell it!
Just beautiful!

That is totally beautiful!!Your quilting is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty wallhanging and the quilting is wonderful.

Very nice. I'm curious - if you're making 5 of these, do you intend to display all 5 together, or will they be going off to different homes? Either way, your little quilts are beautiful.

I get the idea, it is absolutley gorgeous. I love trees, especially done in quilts, thanks for sharing with us.

dunster~I'm planning to hang 3 of them together on my office wall for the holidays, and the other 2 will go to a local gallery where I sell some of my work. :thumbup: I had originally planned to keep/display all 5, but the gallery owner pretty much begged me to bring a couple of them in when she saw me making them...

I LOVE your FMQ! It's really well done and your choice of designs are splendid! I want to look and look and look at your pics. I am so very impressed!

I thought you were showing multiple quilts in your original post! LOL! Still looking fab!

REMARKABLE! WoW!

Wonderful quilting! I love the swooshes flowing underneath the tree.

It is lovely. Be sure to show us the rest as you finish them too.
