Good Morning, Quilters!
With just weeks to go before Christmas, today’s tutorial is a quick and easy motif to add to any Christmas quilt!
While Poinsettias, Mistletoe and Holly are all traditional Christmas flowers…
Roses always look elegant at Christmas!
THE CHRISTMAS ROSE FREE MOTION QUILT TUTORIAL
Begin by drawing a line across the fabric. The line can be straight or wavy.
Stitch a spiral along the line.
It doesn’t matter if your spiral is neat or messy–either way it will look gorgeous!
Cluster two or three spirals of different sizes together, then add a leaf or two.
A simple leaf will work great.
Continue along the drawn line, adding spirals and leaves of different sizes. It is best to avoid a pattern like three spirals, two leaves…instead keep the sizes, shapes and leaf placement random.
Perfectly Elegant…
I wonder how this would look on white fabric with red thread?
Or on linen with red and green thread?
Or on white wool—I have a piece in my sewing room….Got to go…
Don’t call me for dinner!
