Quilting Fabric

Also before Christmas, my sister wanted me to quilt some fabric, so she could make her and my brother in-law some stockings.  She didn’t get around to making any before Christmas because of all the fun parties they were going to.  Even though I don’t have a stocking to share, I want to show you this amazing quilty texture on this Bells Solid the 97 or 98 fabric.  She had me quilt 3 yards, for future kiddos...then their stockings will match.  The backside is the super cute trees from Zen Chic’s White Christmas line...with the gold tree randomly throughout. (See last picture)  These fabrics were found at https://www.etsy.com/shop/sistersandquilters or https://www.sistersandquilters.com/

They chose my Starlight©️ design for the quilting.  It’s available in my shop at in several different digital formats: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/starlight or at Urban Elementz: https://www.urbanelementz.com/leisha-s-starlight.html

I quilted this design at 3” high.   which is definitely great for what my sister wants.  

I used Antique Cream 30 tex Perma Core thread from A&E and 8020 cotton poly blend batting.  Because of the fold creases that can happen with 8020, I rolled this up until she makes her stockings.  

When my sister finishes their stockings, I’ll be sure to share.  Another reason I’ve wanted to share this, I’ve always wanted a quilted bedspread...just solid fabric.  Even more so now.  So, now I just need to decide on a design to quilt out.   

hope you have some fun projects going on!!  Happy Quilting!
