Creating Texture with Machine Quilting + Bonus Video

Cecilia sent me this beautiful quilt and asked me to custom machine quilt it for her. Cecilia did have some ideas in mind for the machine quilting and I was able to bring those ideas to life. That's what I love most about machine quilting!




In the center of each of the circles I machine quilted a fun little flower and then in each of the other medallions I machine quilted a motif design. I did use my Statler Stitcher to quilt all of those motif's and then filled in around each of those with some fun tiny pebbles. By using the Quilters Dream Wool batting and the heavy quilting around the motif's the texture that I was able to create with this fun quilt turned out really fabulous!

While I was quilting this fun quilt I did create a couple of machine quilting videos, if you haven't already subscribed to my YouTube channel, make sure you do, I've been having a lot of fun sharing over there.
This first video shows my quilting in the border and then the second video shows a bit of quilting around the medallion motif's.
