Sharing a Christmas quilt sent to me by Maree who lives in Christchurch. Last week this was already to send it back to Maree, lucky I didn't, as I got an email to say she was on her way to South Africa! So how sad for me I have to hold onto to it for a couple of months! I will enjoy Christmas early in the 'Quiltme' studio.
This quilt is called 'Scandinavian Christmas' - designed by Lynette Anderson. Maree gave me free range to as I pleased. I felt the quilt had a traditional feel to it, so I wanted my quilting to be in keeping with that, but with a few whimsical touches. (click on the photo's for close ups )

With the four main applique blocks ( are needle turned) I crossed hatched the middle, ditch stitched then on edge of the cross stitched 'sashing' I did a whimsical feather. Several different linens were used in this quilt.
