It is time to kick into high gear if I plan to quilt any Christmas gifts this year. I am playing with this design for a vase quilt for my Mom. (I don’t think she reads my blog, so I feel safe showing this today.)
As with most of my free motion quilting, it started as a doodle (while I was watching Notre Dame beat USC–yeah, Fighting Irish!). Once I doodled it a few times, I had to get it onto fabric…it’s like when you Have to Have Chocolate…It keeps sloshing around in my brain until I sit down at my sewing machine…
Sometimes I ditch the whole idea-once it’s on fabric…Not all my doodles translate well…
I definitely think this one is a “keeper”. I think it will look lovely with a vase of flowers on top, or maybe a few snowmen…
Candy canes work….
I have several Christmas motifs just “sloshing” in my brain right now. I will be sharing them as I get them onto fabric…
Next week I am planning a short tutorial on Christmas tree motifs and I have a quick project that you might like, too!
Stay Tuned…I LOVE Christmas! and I LOVE wrapping Christmas presents and making bows…more on that, too…
Happy Sloshing!
