This wall hanging is for one of my very best friends in the world. She and her hubby just moved into a new house. I hope she likes it.
The pattern said to use invisible thread to zig zag over all of the pieces, but I chose to use thread that matched each one. I'm not wild about the invisible thread. The pattern is called " Santa Rides " I got the kit from Keepsake quilting back in the summer, with my friend in mind.
Its wrapped and ready to go. I will get it in the mail tomorrow and hopefully makes it by mid week.
I layered my youngest daughters wall hanging, top-batting-backing. Now I'll machine quilt it. I'll just do a basic stipple in the green parts and thought I might go around the spikey parts with straight stitching, I'm not so good at stitch in the ditch...so maybe 1/4 inch away... decisions, decisions. How I wish I had a long arm quilting machine. Now that would make the quilting easier and not so stressful. Its too late in the game to have someone else do the quilting as I'm sure they are all very busy now. Plus with my husband still unemployed I don't need to spend any $
