Santa's Ride by Lisa

While it is sunny and warm today, I'm pretty sure it was still snowing when I quilted this top for Lisa back in early March.

We decided on minimal outlining and detail stitching in the applique, E&3 in the body of the quilt and separate treatment of the borders. 

 I used ribbon candy (because that was an old time Christmas treat) in the white and red borders, and Christmas ribbons in the dark green border.  

 Take a closer look at this amazing applique.

 

 if you're young enough not to know ribbon candy....
