    Default Snail's Trail
    This is a Snail's Trail quilt that I made for some really great friends. I was completely stuck as to how to quilt it myself knowing that my friend really likes heavily quilted quilts. Since I don't own a long-arm myself, I packed this up and sent it off to Charisma and asked that the quilting thread color match each trail - many thread changes I know, but I also know that's exactly what my friend would want.

    Charisma came through with flying colors! I had to seriously force myself to give this quilt away. Thank you again Charisma! Your beautiful stitching really makes this quilt come alive!

    I can see why you would have trouble parting with this one - it is beautiful. And the quilting is great.

    What a beautiful quilt and quilting. I agree with you--"hate to give it away". It sure is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
