Prickly Passion - Custom Longarm Quilting

custom longarm quilting

Loved quilting my friend Gail’s southwestern themed quilt “Prickly Passion” on my longarm machine. Some of the quilting motifs are my original designs including the prickly pear cactus, a desert rose, and just a “prickly” image I created and stitched in bronze thread.
