Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #143

This Ginko leaf and tree that this Free Motion quilting design is based on is considered sacred in eastern culture and symbolizes longevity, rebirth, love, unity, hope and peace all so appropriate to the season.

It is also thought to be the bearer of miraculous powers.
(Maybe it will help us create beautiful quilting.)

Stitch it large for a bold modern aesthetic or teeny tiny for the most dainty of background fills.

The winning name for this design was chosen by popular vote on Sunday Dec 8, 2019 at 6:00 PM (Pacific).

Thank you and congratulations to Carol Thornton of Parksville B.C. for suggesting this winning name of “Magic Within”!

Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #142

I think that this new Free Motion Quilting design would be stunning stitched with sparkly thread!

Use it as a nice accent for those holiday projects or stitch it big and bold

with cotton thread for the superstar in your life.

The winning name for this design was chosen by popular vote (Facebook and Instagram)on Sunday Dec. 1, 2019 at 6:00 PM (Pacific).
