Christmas is Coming!

Stitching Through the Layers

I'm in a bit of a panic!  Christmas is coming way too fast. If you are feeling the pressure to finish things up, consider Straight Line Quilting.

Santa is Coming to Town.

I embroidered Santa in my spare time. When it came to the quilting, I kept it simple. Changing the size, style or orientation of grid lines emphases the center motif. Here, two different kinds of straight lines, evenly distributed, allow the piece to hang straight and square and set off Santa, the most important part of the design.
