Linda DeBelser

Linda DeBelser brought 2 of her amazing quilts in for us to long arm quilt for her. First up we have her Winter Wonderland quilt.
Linda started with the panel and grew it out from there. She couldn't find the darker inner border anywhere and ended up ordering it from the UK! The wonders of the Internet!
The quilt finished at 60" x 84", long arm quilted by Leslie with Glide thread Arctic for the top. The digital design chosen is Snow Clams.
Thank you to Linda for sharing and check out the one below for her second quilt.
