Antarctica Quilt

It's our Anniversary!!!

So I decided to mark the occasion by creating a wallhang commemorating our cruise to Antarctica!

I downloaded a pattern purchased online and set to work on my Bernini 990.

This is the first ITH quilt I am embroidering and laying out on my new design wall!

Thankfully it will be a small one.
