CHRISTMAS SLOTH BY BECKY SEMEYN

 

Becky brought me this delightful lap-size quilt made in subdued Christmas colors. If you look closely at the photos below, you will see a cute little sloth hanging from a tree branch! 

I used YLI White cotton thread and the digital quilting design called "Starlets", that can be purchased from Urban Elementz.  Becky and I both decided that using such a whimsical star design on this quilt was a great choice. It added a lot of fun to this quilt!
 
Here are some photos of the quilting in progress.





 


And here is the completed quilt, ready for Becky to bind.
 

Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the screen to maximize your viewing pleasure!
 
 
 
The size of this quilt is roughly 60" x 82", and the cost for my services was $82.43, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, and thread. Becky supplied her own batting. If she had purchased batting from me, the additional cost would have been $17.42. And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only three days!
