Kitset 'Country Santa 017' from The Wooden Bear Quilt Designs
Designed by Kelly Mueller |
Finished this on Saturday 3rd March, quite appropriate really as it was the anniversary of Granny's passing and it was she who introduced me to crafting:

| Machine patched and quilted; hand stitched applique |
Found this kitset in my box of 'things to do one day' and started on it in January. Got held up by the fact I needed to find a darning foot for my machine so I could do the freemotion quilting on the background before adding the applique Santa.
 |
| Step One: The patched backing |
 |
| Step Two: free motion quilting of a stipple pattern - my first ever machined fmq - so easy! Love it! |

| The back - cream quilting for the background, green for the border |

I am IMPRESSED that this is your first attempt at fmq! Please post pictures of your progress....I look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I haven't yet attempted the patterned challenges for my FMQ block of the month challenge - that could be a different story!
DeleteWow awsome stipling, I really like your your Country Santa. The green raggy boarder frames the Santa nicely
