“Jumping Jacks”!

Thank you and congratulations to Kathy Schroter, owner/operator of Snip & Stitch Sewing Centre, Nanaimo B.C. for suggesting this winning name.

Stitch this design small for a lovely, textural background fill.

Stitch it with heavier thread in a medium to large size to add lots of interest to negative space on a modern quilt.

Use it to add texture to a wide variety of applique` shapes such as the center of a flower or a snowman's hat.
