Melissa, a friend from Australia, wanted to try me out. She sent me this adorable modern dresden style quilt made with Christmas fabrics. I went to town with some positive and negative space quilting - denser quilting in some areas to make the lovely piecing pop.
I stitched around each of the 'blades' or 'spokes' of the dresdens to give emphasis on the piecing. In larger space between the blocks, I saw the perfect opportunity to add some snowflake designs.
In the white space of the dresdens, I alternated a few designs:
Ribbon Candy
Pebbling
Straight line quilting
and pebbling leading out to swirls....
Isn't it pretty!?
Top Thread - Glide thread in white
Bobbin Thread - Wonderfil Decobob in white
Batting - Hobbs 80/20 batting
I just found your blog, it was on someones side bar and the quilting caught my eye! So beautiful, you do amazing quilting. I read your post about finding a balance, my four kids have all left home now but I still struggle to balance all in life, I feel this seems to be a womens lot..................or maybe the long arm quilting women! Best wishes from Leeanne in New Zealand, also a professional quilter!
