April Schmidtt was in to long arm quilt her beautiful Christmas quilt.April started with a panel and built it out from there.
I love the way she has used an interesting final border as opposed to just straight pieces of fabric.
The E2E design she chose is called A Merry Lil' Christmas with Glide thread Anchor for the top. An awesome finish, April!
Thank you to April for sharing with us all!

A Vintage Quilt Story
|
|
The story begins with one of Rebecca Brickley's descendants submitting the story to an online vintage quilt group. I found the story quite fascinating and thought it would be good to share with everyone.
William J. Brickley provided the following information about Rebecca Brickley who was born in Pennsylvania on May 3, 1820:
This quilt was made by my great-grandmother Rebecca Brickley, wife of Jacob Brickley, who died of cancer of the breast October 18, 1866, at the age of 46 years, 6 months, and 15 days.
